Automation Workflow
An automation workflow is a sequence of automated actions triggered by specific customer behaviors or events. It allows businesses to deliver the right message at the right time without manual effort.
How Automation Workflows Work
A workflow starts with a trigger — an event like a new sign-up, a missed appointment, or a membership anniversary. When the trigger fires, the system executes a series of predefined actions: send an email, wait 2 days, send an SMS, update a CRM field, notify a team member, and so on.
Common Workflow Examples
- Welcome Series: New member signs up → instant welcome email → Day 3 tips email → Day 7 check-in SMS
- Win-Back: No visit in 30 days → SMS with special offer → 3 days later email → 7 days later phone task for sales
- Trial Conversion: Trial starts → Day 1 welcome → Day 5 value reminder → Day 7 conversion offer
- Birthday Campaign: Birthday in 7 days → personalized offer email → Day-of SMS greeting
Benefits
Automation workflows run 24/7, ensuring no customer falls through the cracks. They scale your team's capacity without adding headcount and deliver consistent, timely communication that would be impossible to do manually.
