Feature Introduction

Every day your team repeats a series of manual tasks: sending welcome emails to new clients, assigning follow-up tasks, reminding the team when deals are stalled, and updating order statuses. The more manual steps there are, the easier it is to forget, be late, and for everyone to do things differently.

That ends today.

Automation lets you build automated processes directly within your system using the familiar Trigger → Condition → Action model, completely code-free . This upgrade adds a library of over 120 actions across various business processes, AI-powered step suggestions when you're unsure what to choose, a visual history to see where the process is progressing, and keeps all scenarios neatly organized in a two-tiered Automation Library .

The Problems Businesses Are Facing

Doing things manually, step by step, repeatedly — Time-consuming, easy to forget steps, slow customer response.

Each person handles it differently — resulting in inconsistent processes and difficulty in quality control.

Not knowing which step a process has reached or where it stopped — A process that fails for unknown reasons, difficult to fix.

The configuration panel is completely blank, making it difficult to get started — New users are hesitant to use it, and the process never seems to be completed.

Automation brings all processes together in one place, giving you clear visibility of each run and automating across multiple business processes.

Highlights

1. Trigger → Condition → Action model, no coding required.

Automation operates in three easily understandable blocks:

  • Trigger : an event that starts a process — for example, creating a new contact, updating a task.
  • Condition : the condition that must be met before proceeding — for example, state = "To Do".
  • Action : an automated operation that is performed — for example, sending an email, creating/assigning a task.

Additionally, there are Wait/Delay (waiting for a period of time: minutes/hours/days) and Human (inserting a step that requires human intervention before proceeding).

Select the object type for the Trigger

2. Intuitive Workflow Builder — drag and drop, view the whole picture.

The Workflow Builder interface is intuitive.
  • Drag and drop easy steps to connect them into a diagram.
  • View the entire process as a visual diagram and arrange the layout yourself.
  • Ready-made templates : Get started quickly with popular process templates.
Choose from available process templates.

3. A database of over 120 actions — spanning across various business processes.

A rich selection of actions for a step in the process.
  • Over 120 automated actions to integrate into your workflow, spanning: CRM (contacts, companies, deals), sales & orders , inventory (inbound/outbound/transfers), accounting & invoicing , messaging & email , notifications & webhooks , support (tickets) , tasks , and more.
  • One process, multiple operations : for example, "New contact → send welcome email → create deal → assign follow-up tasks" runs seamlessly through multiple parts of the system.
  • There's also an AI step : using an AI assistant to handle a part of the process (e.g., content creation) when needed.

4. AI-powered step suggestions — no more "difficult-to-use whiteboards"

The "Ask AI" button on the configuration panel: type your intention, and the AI ​​will automatically fill in the action.
  • Type what you want verbally : for example, "send thank-you email to new customers" — the AI ​​will automatically select the appropriate action and pre-configure the steps; you just need to fill in the details.
  • Safety : AI only suggests actions that the system can actually perform; it doesn't "invent" steps.
  • Contextual next step suggestions : Click "+ add step" below a step, and the system will suggest the appropriate actions for that object (for example, after "Contact created" → Send email · Create deal · Update contact · Create task). Select one to immediately access the pre-configured step.
The menu suggests the next step based on the context of the source step.

5. Visual run history — see exactly where the process has progressed.

Run history: select a run and view the process flow diagram, coloring each step according to its state.
  • List of runs with their status (running · waiting · successful · failed).
  • See the process flow diagram itself : each step is colored according to its status (green = completed, blue = running, amber = waiting, red = error), and the current/paused step is highlighted.
  • Click on a step to see the business data it processed (who the email was sent to, whether the condition was true/false, who it's waiting for to process it, etc.) — you'll immediately know why it stopped and where it stopped.

6. Runs smoothly across multiple business processes.

  • No interruptions : Automated steps are granted sufficient permissions to complete all accompanying internal operations — for example, sending a message to a new customer while simultaneously updating their profile — so the cross-business process runs smoothly instead of stopping midway.

7. Automated Warehouse — a two-tiered catalog, easy to find and easy to enable.

Two-tiered Automation Warehouse: grouping scenarios by functional clustering.
  • Grouping functions into clusters (CRM/customer, accounting, HR, task assignment, etc.) and then down to individual playbooks — accounting and HR are now in one place, making them quicker to find and access.
  • Pre-made Contact/Company scripts : welcome, customer service, follow-up reminder.
  • Scenario for Finding Potential Partners & Clients : Immediately attach the outreach string to the contacts/companies you just imported from the AI ​​search engine.
  • Neatly toggled on/off : unused scripts are hidden; they run immediately upon activation.
