How to create an automation rule for leads

In order to create automation rules for leads, you will first need to enable the following add-ons from the Feature Center:

  1. From the sidebar menu, select Automations
  2. Select Add automation
  3. Customize your automation rule:
    1. Enter a title for you rule
    2. Choose the lead-based event that should trigger this automation rule (e.g., when a lead has a status of ''new")

    4. Customize the message you want to send when this event is triggered
    5. Define when this rule should be triggered (e.g., 1 hour ahead of the lead schedule date)

      The only way to trigger an automation rule for an unscheduled lead is to select immediately. This will ensure the rule is triggered by a change to the lead status or lead tag.

      Assigning a specific time (e.g., 1 day after) to a lead-based automation rule will only allow the rule to be triggered once it has been scheduled.

    6. (Optional) Create a condition to define the exact criteria that should be applied to this automation rule (e.g., only if source = Google, only if client tag ≠ loyal customer, etc.)
    7. (Optional) Define when this rule should be triggered (e.g., 9–5 p.m., 24/7, etc.)
    8. Select Add automation
