Automations

Start from a trigger, and chain the actions that should follow.

Triggers and actions

An automation reacts to what a client does. It starts with a trigger, and runs the steps you chain after it.

Create an automation

Create one and give it a name.

Add a trigger

Drag a trigger onto the canvas. This one fires when a new client joins.

Add actions

Then the actions: a message, and a workflow to assign.

Wait steps

Under conditions you find Wait, to put time between two steps.

Connect the chain

Connect the steps by dragging from one dot to the next, into a single chain.

Configure each step

Click a step to set it up: the message, how long to wait, and which workflow to assign.

Save and activate

Save, then activate. From now on it runs for every new client.

Live automations

Back in the list, a green dot marks the automations that are live.

Automations

Automations act on clients for you. A trigger says when, actions say what. Build the chain once on a canvas and it runs for every client who matches.

Automations are on the Ultimate plan.

Building an automation

Open Automation in the sidebar to see your automations. Click New Automation, or AI Generate to describe what you want in plain words and get a first version to edit.

On the canvas, drag items from the left panel: Triggers, Actions and Conditions. Connect them by dragging from the dot on the right of a node to the dot on the left of the next one.

One chain
Triggers come first, then the steps in order. Every step has one next step, loops are not allowed, and all triggers point at the same first step.
Limits
Up to 5 triggers and 50 nodes per automation.

Click a node to set it up in the panel on the right. A node with missing settings is flagged until you complete it.

The Send Message panel

Save keeps your changes. Activate turns the automation on and Pause stops it. Settings has Trigger timing and Exclude clients, for clients it should never run for. Test runs it with a simulated trigger and History lists every run.

Results of AI Analyzer steps wait in the AI analysis tab until you apply or dismiss them.

Triggers

Triggers decide when an automation runs. With more than one, all of them must be true for the same client. In Settings you can limit how many days apart they may be.

For actions on fixed days after a start date, use a workflow instead. Go to Workflows
