Workflows

Workflows will allow you to send an automated email and trigger a series of tasks automatically for a Booking.

Updated over a week ago

Workflows are groups of actions that you commonly need to execute within a Booking. These can be automated emails, Tasks, or a combination of both.

Workflows are set up by the System Administrator and can be added and updated at any time. Team members can then apply workflows to any new or existing Bookings in Event Temple.

There is no limit to the number of workflows that can be created. The best practice is to have a few simple Workflows that your teams actually use. If you'd like to see some example Workflows, check out this article!

Please note, Workflows are available on select Event Temple plans.โ€‹ If you'd like to request access to this feature, please reach out to our friendly team.

Important Considerations

  • You must be an Account Administrator to set-up Workflows. If you do not see these steps, contact your admin.

  • You must have already created an email template in order to attach it to a Workflow.

  • Workflow emails are only sent to the Primary Contact on a Booking

  • You can attach multiple Workflows to a Booking. Simply repeat the same steps to add multiple Workflows.

  • When an action has been completed on a Workflow (email sent or Task created) a check mark will appear next to it.

  • You cannot see all the Workflows / Traces in one place at this point in time. You can see the individual workflows from within the Booking itself by accessing the Booking in question and clicking on the Workflows Subtab. You can also see the individual tasks in the Tasks List or Tasks Calendar once the due date has arrived.

  • If the selected workflows are dependent on Booking dates, they will not run if there are no Booking dates present.
