  1. Go to the CRM section.
  2. Select the desired item, such as leads or deals.
  3. Open the Automation rules tab.

Automation rules and triggers

On this tab, you can configure rules and triggers for each stage. Automation rules perform actions when a CRM item reaches a specific stage, like sending emails and SMS, creating documents, and more.

Triggers monitor customer actions and changes in CRM, like email link clicks, incoming calls, invoice payments, and more. When a specific action occurs, the trigger moves a CRM item to its designated stage.

Find automation rules and triggers. To quickly find the added rules or triggers, enter their names in the search bar.

Under each stage, you can select additional actions.

Edit in Workflow Designer. Use the Workflow Designer to add activities that aren't available in the automation rules interface. For example, add the "Loop" activity to automate processes that require repeating the same actions multiple times, like checking data or sending notifications.

In Workflow Designer, you can edit both a single rule and a chain of rules at one stage.

If you edit an automation rule in Workflow Designer or add an activity not available in the automation rules interface, any further changes must be made in Workflow Designer. To switch back to the automation rules interface, you'll need to delete the added activity in Workflow Designer.

Group actions. Use this option to apply changes to multiple or all rules and triggers at a stage. For example, you can transfer all automation rules from deals to leads.

Variables and constants

On the Variables and Constants tabs, you can store information to use in conditions, various fields, and math operations.

Constants are values that don't change or rarely change, like a tax rate, a specific date or an employee's role. For example, create a "Chief Accountant" constant and assign this role to a specific employee.

Variables, on the other hand, are values that can change during the work process. For example, a variable might be the percentage of a sale that an agent receives as payment. Depending on the deal amount, this percentage varies. The "Modify item" rule will automatically calculate the payment amount using these variable values.

Automation rule test mode

The test mode lets you try out automation rules to ensure they work correctly. You can choose to test with demo deals or real-life deals. Follow each step of the automation rule actions and fix any errors you find.

The Test logs section keeps records of the test results.
