2. Add a Title

  • Enter a clear and descriptive title for your template.
    Example: Appointment Setter

3. Set Access Level

  • Choose who should have access to the template:

    • Organization – All team members can use the template.

    • User-specific – Only selected users can access the template.

4. Click on “Create Template”

Adding a Trigger and Action

5. Add a Trigger

Select the type of trigger that will initiate the automation. You can choose from:

  • Keyword Trigger
    Triggered when a contact replies using a specific keyword.

  • Response Trigger
    Triggered when a contact responds to a message.

  • Link Click Trigger
    Triggered when a contact clicks a link in a message.

Example: Link Click Trigger

In this example, you'll configure an automation where clicking an appointment link triggers a follow-up assignment.

  • Select Link Click Trigger.

  • Specify the message containing the appointment scheduling link.

  • This trigger will activate when someone clicks the link to schedule a date and time.

6. Choose an Action

  • Set the action to Assign User.

  • Select the user who should be assigned (e.g., Daniel Walsh).

Purpose of this Example:
When a contact clicks the appointment setter link, the office secretary is automatically assigned to follow up. This ensures the scheduled appointment is properly confirmed and completed.

Note: Various actions can be triggered on the same template.
