Automation Flows - Create Task

In SprintHub, you can automate the creation of tasks directly from events related to Leads or Contacts, ensuring that important follow-up, sales, or relationship activities are not forgotten.

This feature is ideal for organizing follow-ups, delegating responsibilities to the sales team and standardizing processes, such as calls, visits, or sending proposals.

🔹 Step-by-step to create a task in the Automation Flow

1. Access the Automation Flows

• Go to Find Services → Analyze → Automation Flow.

• Click on + New Flow.

2. Flow Setup

• Name: Define a name that represents the flow's objective (e.g.: “Hot Leads Follow-up”).

• Segment: Contacts from these segments will be automatically added to the flow, including Leads added in the future.

• Access Permission: Only the users and departments below will be able to access the flow. Leaving it blank makes it available to everyone.

• Allow contacts to repeat the flow?

  • Enabled: the Lead can go through the flow again.

  • Disabled: the Lead goes through the flow only once.

3. Configure the Action → Create Task

Click on Open Builder and fill in the fields using Lead/Contact information:

• Board 🗂 ➡️ Example: “Leads to Follow Up” The board organizes tasks by sales or relationship area.

• Stage 📊 ➡️ Open: newly created task, awaiting action from the responsible person. ➡️ Pending: task in progress, awaiting customer response. ➡️ Custom: stages such as “Awaiting Lead response” or “Escalated to sales manager”.

• Task Title 🏷 ➡️ Example: “Contact {{Lead Name}} – Lead #{{Lead ID}}” Use dynamic Lead fields to make identification easier.

• Responsible 👤 ➡️ Example: “Salesperson assigned to the Lead” Automatically assigns to the person defined in the Lead or by the sales team.

• Description 🖊 ➡️ Example: “Follow up with Lead {{Lead Name}} about the proposal sent. Confirm interest and record the response.” Should detail the required action.

• Task Type 🔖 ➡️ Example: “Follow-up Call”, “Proposal Sending”, or “Business Contact”

• Priority 🚦 ➡️ Example: “High” for hot Leads or a short response deadline.

• Due Date ⏳ ➡️ Example: “2 days after Lead creation” Ensures the follow-up is within the sales SLA.

• Participants 👥 ➡️ Example: “Sales Team” When more than one team member needs to track the task.

• Observers 👀 ➡️ Example: “Sales Coordinator” For supervisors who follow along without editing.

• Departments 🏢 ➡️ Example: “Sales” or “Pre-sales” For matters involving another department.

• Attachments 📎 ➡️ Example: “Proposal sent”, “Screenshot of the Lead's email”

4. Save and Activate the Flow

• Click on Yes in “Published?”

• Activate the flow so that new occurrences automatically trigger task creation for each Lead/Contact.

🔹 Practical Example

Objective: Create an automatic task when a Lead advances to the stage Proposal Sent.

• Trigger: Lead enters the “Proposal Sent” stage.

• Action: Create task.

  • Title: “Follow up with {{Lead Name}}”.

  • Description: “Contact the Lead within 2 days to confirm receipt of the proposal and record feedback.”

  • Responsible: Salesperson assigned to the Lead.

  • Deadline: 2 days after trigger.

  • Task Type: Follow-up Call.

✅ Result: Whenever a Lead advances to this stage, SprintHub will automatically create the follow-up task, ensuring no contact is forgotten.
