Build a workflow
Create your first automation - auto-assign new leads and send a welcome email, step by step.
1 min read
This walkthrough builds a practical automation: when a new lead comes in, assign it to a salesperson and send a welcome email. It shows the trigger → conditions → actions pattern you'll reuse everywhere.
The goal
When a new lead is created from the pricing page, assign it to a rep and send a welcome email.
Steps
- Open Automation / Workflows and create a new workflow.
- Choose the trigger: new lead created.
- Add a condition: source is the pricing page (so only high-intent leads qualify).
- Add the first action: assign to a teammate.
- Add a second action: send email - pick or write a welcome message.
- (Optional) Add a delay, then a follow-up action a day later.
- Activate the workflow.
Test it
- Trigger the event yourself (submit the relevant form, or create a test lead).
- Confirm the lead is assigned and the email is sent.
- Check the workflow's run history.
Start simple, then extend
Get a one-action workflow working first. Once you trust it, add conditions and extra steps.
