This article is here to help create your first automations. If you would like to learn more about how automations can be used for sales check out our automations use case guide.
What are automations?
Automations are made up by two components:
👉 Triggers - When an event such as a session or page view occurs or a new lead is identified.
👉Actions - What happens when a trigger event takes place. Examples include sending an email, slack notifications or adding tags.
With triggers and actions you can automate sending leads or visit information to a specific user or team. Or trigger tags and send leads to your CRM.
💡 Imagine a lost deal from 6 months ago visits your website - notify the sales team via email or slack.
What should I keep in mind?
Automations are best used in combination with Segments and Lead Stages.
For example, let me know via slack when a new lead ideal lead visits my website and takes a high intent action.
Or send me a notification when one of my existing prospects visits the pricing page.
