Introduce
Automation is a powerful feature of GTG CRM that helps businesses automate repetitive workflows. Instead of manually performing each step, the system will automatically execute according to a pre-set scenario.
What is automation?
Automation in GTG CRM operates on the Trigger → Condition → Action model.
- Trigger : An event that starts a process (e.g., creating a new task, updating a contact).
- Condition : The conditions that must be met to continue (e.g., status = "To Do")
- Action : An automated action performed (e.g., sending an email, creating a task)
Why do we need automation?
Common problems
- Employees waste a lot of time on repetitive tasks.
- It's easy to forget steps in complex processes.
- It is difficult to ensure consistency in handling tasks.
- Delayed customer response

- Reduce errors : Eliminate human errors.
- Increase response speed : Send emails/notifications instantly.

Main ingredients
1. Trigger
Triggers are the starting point of all automation. You need to identify:
- Object Type : Object type (Task, Contact, Deal, etc.)
- Activity : Triggered activity (Create, Update, Delete...)

2. Condition
Condition helps filter and check specific conditions:
- Field : The data field to be checked (Status, Type, Priority...)
- Operator : Comparison operator (equals, not equals, in, not in...)
- Value : Comparative value

3. Action
Actions are operations that are performed automatically:
- Send Email : Send an email to a contact or team member.
- Create Task : Create a new task
- Update Field : Update information
- Wait/Delay : Wait for a period of time

4. Wait/Delay
Allows the process to pause for a period of time:

5. Human (Human intervention)
When human intervention is needed in the process:
- Create tasks for specific employees.
- Set priorities and deadlines.
- Please wait for processing before continuing.
