What are labels?

Labels are like tags that you can attach to your deals to organize them. You can create and customize labels based on your needs, such as categorizing deals by referral channels. This helps you keep track and identify the most valuable leads more accurately.

Use Case: Enhance your deal workflow with ease using Custom Labels, add, delete, and share labels within pipelines effortlessly.

To View the Enhancement:

In this article, you will learn:

Current clients – if you are already using Pipeline Automation then you will have to request support to upgrade Pipeline Automation for your Agency. However all new agencies being onboarded henceforce will be on the upgraded version.

The automation feature is provided in the Pipelines section for creating instant automation without any manual hassle. Now, you can create customized automation for instant communication with the respective clients at a given point of time and trigger. This automation can be generated at various stages of the deal card.

The best part of this automation feature in the pipeline is that, once a process has been set, every time it will run when the trigger is there.

Before setting up any automation remember two things.

  1. Triggers – What is causing the automation
  2. Actions – What will happen when the trigger is activated.

Examples of triggers:

  1. Change in Deal Stage
  2. Add Category
  3. Add Label
  4. Deal won
  5. Deal Lost
  6. Add deal

Examples of Actions:

  1. Email
  2. Text
  3. Task
  4. Notification
  5. Checklist
  6. Move
  7. Assign
  8. Won
  9. Lost
  10. Handwritten cards

Assignee for Pipeline Automation

Note: In pipeline automation all communications by default will be sent through the assigned agent communication id of the agent assigned for the particular deal card.

Assigned agent is the agent whoever is assigned to the deal card.

While creating automation, in the sender email ID section, you will find Sender Email Address is set as Assigned Agent by default.

Note: The communication email ID, signature, tags, all will be of the assigned agent.

How to get to the automation section from Pipeline Manager?

  • Click on Pipelines
  • Select the Pipeline
  • Navigate to the gear icon
  • Click on Automation

Note: The automation that is created works equally for all agents. 

The automation will work for the selected pipelines for which it is created

  • In the left panel, you can see all the stages that have been created for the selected pipeline.

You can create automation for the pre-set stages for the particular pipeline.

Pipeline Automation has a New Look

A new user interface has been designed for easy view of your pipeline automations.

Pipeline automation:

How to add automation to the stages?

  • Click on the particular stage from the left panel.
  • Click on the Add Automation button
  • Fill in the required fields- type/ module of automation, subject, agency name, email, template, communicating contact, when to send, tags (if any), attach any file (if required)
  • Click to save

You can also add stages to it if required.

Note: You can select the particular stage and can directly add stage change automation to that stage

For example, if you create a card on stage 1, and want to move it to stage 3, so whatever automation that has been already created for stage 1 will start to work for stage 3 too. 

In the case of the change stage campaign, the automation will get visible in the drip campaign section when the deal card will move from one stage to the particular set stage.

How to create automation for moving a deal card from one stage to another?

Agents can now create automation for moving the deal card from one stage to another based on certain conditions.

Once the automation content is set

  • Click on move.
  • Set the time trigger– Immediately or After

In case of after: choose day/week/month, number of days/weeks/months, time, or after how many hours.

  • Select the pipeline stage where the deal card is to be moved
  • You can click on start stage automation to start or can click on stop running automation to stop.

Once the card will move from stage 4 the move action will get activated and as per the set time, the trigger will run.

How to add automation to additional triggers?

  • Add Category
  • Add Label
  • Deal won
  • Deal Lost
  • Add deal

Automation for Add Category

The categories for which automation will be set will work equivalently for any deal card that falls under that category.

Note: If there is automation set for any category or label that is added to any deal card, it will trigger automatically.

For example: For add category triggers, suppose, if there is any series of communication that you want to send to any client with a deal card of a particular category eg. Auto (personal), the automation created will run for that particular deal card.

  • Click to save

Note: You can select multiple categories. 

The significance of this Add category automation is that whichever deal card will have the specific categories, the automation will trigger automatically for those cards too. 

Once you select categories need to click on start automation then the automation will run

How to create automation for Add Label trigger?

For every deal card, users add labels to it based on the deal health or various other sources. And based on these labels, now agents can run automation too.

Example: Suppose you want to run automation for the deal cards with label warm and referral partner mentioned in it. In that case, in the add label section, he needs to choose the label names, and then click on add automation and fill in the details to run the automation.
