Automation & Workflow
Scale your marketing operations by transforming manual tasks into automated, event-driven customer journeys. Salesmanago provides a dual-layer approach to automation: Automation Rules for rapid actions and the Workflow Creator for complex visual mapping.
Overview of Automation Tools
Salesmanago uses a Trigger -> Condition -> Action logic.
| Tool | Best For | Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Automation Rules | Instant responses (e.g., sending a thank-you email). | Low - Medium |
| Workflow | Multi-stage, long-term customer journeys. | High |
Automation Rules
Automation rules allow you to react instantly to user behavior. Each rule consists of:
The Logic Trio
- Events: The "When" (e.g., Contact visited a URL, Cart abandoned).
- Conditions: The "If" (e.g., Contact has a specific tag, Score > 100).
- Actions: The "Then" (e.g., Send email, Add to segment, Notify sales).
Popular Use Cases
Automatically send a series of educational emails when a contact signs up for a newsletter.
Wait 2 hours after a cart is abandoned, then send a personalized discount code.
Notify a dedicated account manager via SMS when a high-value lead visits the pricing page.
Workflow Creator
The Workflow Creator is a visual drag-and-drop canvas for building advanced customer lifecycles.
Key Features
- A/B Testing: Test different paths within a single journey to see which converts better.
- Time Delays: Set specific pauses (e.g., "Wait 3 days") or specific time windows (e.g., "Only send on Mondays at 9 AM").
- Multichannel Paths: Route users based on their engagement (e.g., If email not opened, send SMS).
Pro Tip
Use the Coupons action within a workflow to automatically generate and assign unique discount codes to contacts as they reach specific milestones.
Management & Optimization
- Rule Prioritization: Set the order in which rules are triggered to avoid overlapping communications.
- Execution Limits: Define how often a contact can enter a specific automation (e.g., once per 24 hours).
