The work that happens every time, happening without you

A trigger, the conditions that narrow it, and the actions that follow. No code, and you can watch a rule run against real data before you ever switch it on.

Included from Pro upwards

Why this exists

  • Somebody remembers to do the follow-up, or nobody does.
  • The rule lives in one person and leaves when they do.
  • Every tool that promised to fix this wanted a developer, or a monthly fee per task.

What it does

Trigger on anything that happens

Every event the product raises, grouped by where it happens: Work (a task, a project), Sales (a deal created, a stage changed, a deal won, a client created, a lead turning hot, a tag added), Money (an invoice created, an invoice paid), Capture (a form submitted, a survey completed, an appointment booked) and Documents (signed, declined, expired).

Narrow it with conditions that cannot be wrong

Pick a field from the trigger and the choices are the fields that event actually carries, so you cannot select one that will never be there. Then an operator: is, is not, contains, starts with, is one of, is more than.

Act

Notify owners and admins, notify the lead’s own assigned owner, create a task, set the triggering record’s status, assign it to a teammate, email or text the lead, or enroll them in a drip sequence. Add several and they run in order.

Write each recipient their own message

Merge fields like {{first_name}}, {{company_name}} and {{amount}} are filled from the lead the message is going to, at the moment it is sent. A field that cannot be filled does not send a half-written message.

Push the event anywhere else

A webhook action POSTs the rule, the event, the entity and the trigger data to any URL you choose, so Zapier, Make, n8n or your own service can pick it up. Private and internal addresses are blocked.

Run the test before you ship it

Press Run test and the rule is simulated against your most recent matching event: whether it would fire, which conditions passed or failed, and exactly what each action would have done. Nothing is sent and nothing is changed.

Start from one of 80+ templates

A library covering forms, surveys, documents, tasks, projects, sales, clients and leads. Filter by module, load one into the builder, change it. Save your own as a template.

See what it has actually done

Each automation keeps its own run history, held against the automation rather than its name, so renaming one no longer loses everything it has done. The dashboard shows webhook calls used against the daily allowance, so a rule that goes quiet is never a mystery.

What it does not do

The part you would otherwise find out in week three. If one of these is central to how you work, raise it before you buy rather than after.

  • It is not a general workflow engine with loops and long-running state. A rule is one trigger, its conditions and its ordered actions.
  • There is no visual branching in the stable builder. Graph view, which adds branch nodes on a free canvas, is beta.
  • Sending email or SMS from an action needs that channel configured first. Texting at volume needs carrier registration.
  • Automations are on Pro and above. The Free plan does not carry them.

Questions, answered

Do I need a developer?+

No. Every automation is built by choosing a trigger, optional conditions and actions from lists. The webhook action is the only place a URL is typed, and that is for pushing events out to something else.

How do I know a rule will do what I think?+

Run test simulates it against your most recent matching event and shows which conditions passed, which failed, and what each action would have done. Nothing is sent and no data changes.

Can it call my own systems?+

Yes, with the webhook action. It POSTs a JSON payload with the rule, the event, the entity and the trigger data. Private and internal addresses are refused, and delivery is capped by a daily allowance shown on the dashboard.

What happens when an automation fails?+

It is recorded in that automation’s own run history with what fired and how many actions ran, and the dashboard shows the limits that would stop one. A rule that stops working is visible rather than silent.
