How to Create a Workflow
The Key Steps
- Click the Communication dropdown in your left-hand navigation menu on your backend dashboard.
- Click Workflows to be directed to your Workflow editor.
- Click the green New Workflow in the top-right of the Workflow section to begin creating a new workflow.
- A pop-up menu will appear where you can give this workflow a Name and set the Trigger Type for the workflow.
- The trigger is what will add a contact to the workflow and make it start sending messages out to a contact.
- After naming the workflow and setting the trigger, click the green Create Workflow button.
- You'll see this new workflow in draft. Click the Name of the workflow
- In this menu, you'll see whoever will be active in the workflow and who has gone through the workflow.
- Click the Actions dropdown in the top-right of this menu and click Edit Workflow.
- Under Settings, click the Configure button in the Trigger section to set what kind of trigger will add contacts to the workflow. (see the example in the video below)
- Under that, click the Configure button in the Goals section to set what event would remove a contact from your workflow.
- Now you can begin building your workflow by using the blue "+" buttons to add time delays, emails, or sms messages.
- To edit the time delays, emails, or sms messages, click on them in the workflow and a drop-down will appear where you can edit the time or message.
- Once you've finished, click the Publish toggle to green to turn on your workflow once saved.
- Click the green Save button to save your new workflow.
