Workflow automations

You'll need to begin by creating a client. Once you have your client set up, you can click the + and choose invoice. Then choose recurring. You'll have the option to choose when it starts, how often the invoice sends, what to include in the invoice each time it sends, and if you want to approve it before it is sent.
​

Manage all recurring invoices by clicking the client then invoices. Under your invoice health metrics, you'll see a dropdown with all of your recurring invoices. Click any of them to edit.

For tasks that you repeat at a set interval, you can create recurring tasks. Click on the client and then the project that you want to create the recurring task under (if this is an administrative task for yourself, you can create yourself as the client and the project can be admin).

Click tasks and then choose the recurrence icon (arrows pointing to each other) to view all of your recurring tasks. Click the + from this screen and select task to create a recurring task.

You'll be able to choose how often this task appears, when it starts and ends (optional) and add any other necessary information including rolling due dates.

Manage your automatic invoice reminders and their frequency in your workspace settings in the lower left corner then click preferences. Click invoices. Here you can set the cadence for automatic reminders or turn off invoice reminders completely.

To customize the email that gets sent to your clients, create an email template. Your template can include tokens that will pull information from the invoice you are trying referencing including due date, late fees, days past due, or amount due.
​

Once you have created your template, you can navigate back to your invoice preferences and use the dropdown boxes to select the appropriate email template to send as your new invoice, payment confirmation, due date approaching, or past due notification reminder.

Create your meeting scheduler with your set availability and connect it to your calendar to basically put your scheduling on auto-pilot. When you set up your confirmation & reminder, you can use the dropdown to select your email template to send a custom meeting confirmation.

When you create your email template, You can use the "Meetings" tokens to include the meeting name as well as other reminders within your custom confirmation email.

After you create your form, click settings in the upper left. Use the drop down to choose the email template that you'd like to automatically send every time someone fills out a form.
​

In your form, make sure you have mapped the email address to "Email."
​
​

In your email template, you'll want to use the tokens for "Form submission." This will automatically pull information that was entered in the lead capture block in the form.

Create an agreement or an agreement template. Insert a fee structure with deliverables or a saved project template. When you click to set up fees (or click on 3 dots next to the set fees if you used a template), you'll be able to edit the settings for what happens after the agreement is signed.

Opt to allow your agreement to create the selected project or projects and create an invoice.

One of the best ways to utilize our workflow automations is to embed a discovery or intake form on your website and use it to trigger an automation. This section will give step by step instructions on these select use cases, but you can combine any of the below steps to create the automation that works for you.

Create your form make sure to capture lead information like first and last name as well as email. Map these fields to the appropriate spaces using the "Mapping" dropdown. You'll also want to utilize "field id" for each of your questions.
​

You'll use this field id to trigger a decision automation. Depending on the answer to this question or a group of questions, you can create an automation to direct appropriately. For example, if you ask for what their approximate budget is, you'll be able to create an automation that sends a meeting scheduler to continue the process if they fall within the range that you accept clients. If they fall outside of that range, you can trigger an automatic email response instead.

Click settings and add submissions to a stage in your pipeline. We designed the default stage "Inquiry" for this purpose, but you can update these settings to match your personal pipeline stages.

Click share and embed on your website or add your link to your social channels or email signature. When a submission comes in, it will enter into your pipeline in the stage you chose. You'll be able to see all of the form answers linked to their opportunity in pipeline.

To create an automation, click workspace settings > workflow automations then the + and enter the name of your workflow for easy reference later. Your entry event will be "Opportunity enters stage" and you'll choose the pipeline stage that your form submissions are sent to.

Anytime an opportunity enters this stage - automatically or manually, this automation will begin.

If you entered a decision question or questions in your form, you can add the "Decision" block here by clicking it and dragging it onto the field. Label the block and choose "Form answers" from the dropdown. Enter the field ID from your form to direct the automation to the correct block. Use the second drop down to set your parameters. Enter the data in the last box. In this example, I want to only schedule meetings with someone whose budget is greater than $45.

You can make this automation as simple or complex as you'd like. You can add more conditions and choose whether your decision is based on all conditions being met ("and" operator) or just one of the conditions being met ("or" operator).

Your next stage will be to send an email to schedule the meeting. Click and drag the "Send email" block onto the grid and connect the dots from the "yes" dot to the send email. Click it to choose which email template you'd like to send to your qualified leads.
