Workflows vs Campaigns/Triggers (Deprecated features)

Updated over 7 months ago

Workflows make it easy to create automation with triggers and actions, and it is similar to campaigns and triggers but with much more capabilities. Workflows also have capabilities like using if-else statements, wait times, Math functions and so much more. Overall, workflows offer a more powerful and comprehensive automation solution than campaigns and triggers.
​
​General comparison between Workflows and the deprecated features:

Utilizing if/else conditions and filtering within workflows enables the creation of highly personalized and precisely targeted automation. By integrating triggers and campaigns into a unified system, workflows enhance efficiency and streamline processes. With a status/execution log, troubleshooting and lead status tracking become simplified tasks within workflows. During onboarding and launch phases, workflows offer ease of testing for quality assurance, ensuring seamless functionality for clients.
​
​

You can import your campaigns into workflows, and then add the triggers as well for a more streamlined automation process.

Why are Campaigns and Triggers not visible in my Sub-account?

In instances where a sub-account originates from a master account lacking pre-existing campaigns and triggers, access to the deprecated features setting within the sub-account's Settings menu under Business Profile may be restricted.
​
​

Suppose the workflow was generated from a master sub-account snapshot already equipped with triggers and campaigns. In such instances, users should find an option to activate deprecated features within the Business Profile settings. However, as the CRM transitions clients towards workflows, distancing from campaigns and triggers, these functionalities are automatically deactivated in sub-accounts derived from snapshots devoid of these features. Additionally, agencies established post-November 2021 do not have the default option to activate deprecated features.
