Automation: Sending email on custom conditions
In GoodFlow, email automation allows you to send automatic, dynamic emails. The email can go to any email collected in the Perform to a static one like
ceo@yourcompany.com as defined.
In the Email body, you
can add fields from the tasks of the workflow, so that the email recipient have enough data in the email.
Email automation is available in the Trigger section inside the workflow builder
. To
set up a email automation for a workflow, click on the workflow and do
the following -
- Click 'Edit Flow' button at the top right section and you will be inside
- Click on the 'Triggers' option at the top and click on 'Add trigger' button on the pop-up.
- The trigger panel will open from the right side.
- Add Origin: The email will trigger at this point. Like completion of a task, or on change of a task field value.
- Add conditions:
Define which conditions need to be met before the E-mail triggers. You
can put AND OR logics on task completion/reopening, field values and
the E-mail will trigger only if those conditions are met at the defined
origin.
- Add the trigger Effect as Email:
a. Select the trigger effect as 'E-mail' from the dropdown.
