How do I use the Automation Manager?

The Automation Manager feature enables you to create workflows that will automate several functions within the platform. If you don't have this feature currently enabled, you can request it at support@mindmatrix.net.

1. To begin setup, navigate to Setup > Automation Manager


5. Here's where you'll be able to create your workflows. Select the orange "Create" button and you'll be shown a dialog prompting you to determine whether this workflow rule will be created based on the User identity, or the Contact identity. 
  1. Users are your team members or partners who log into the platform.
  2. Contacts are your end prospects, customers, or other points of contact that you normally send email communications to in the platform.
In the workflow rules type, you will see an option for 'Deals' in the dropdown menu; select this to add deals list conditions to the workflow.


6. Enter the name, description, and any filters you'd like to apply to the new rule, and then click "save".


7. Click on the new rule to be shown the User Rules and Actions section. This section allows you to add rules to the workflow rules that enable your own team to work more efficiently with the contacts that are most relevant to them. Depending on which workflow rule type you selected, you will see an option that reads "Add USER Rules and Actions" or "Add CONTACT Rules and Actions". Select the corresponding option to create a rule.


Here you will need to add a name for the rule and an optional description, then click "Next"


8. Add your needed filters as well as the period of which you'd like this to be taken a look at. 


Now, you also have the option to add deals list conditions to the workflow and added all the filters.



Automation Manager Update:

The automation workflow rule for the 'User' type now includes a new condition: "Member of Organization." This addition enables you to create automation rules that target users based on whether they are added to an organization or not. Click next to set up your actions.





In the Automation Manager, you can now create rules to share Deals with Partner Admins and Channel Managers. This feature allows you to manage and control who can access specific deals within different organizations.

To set this up, follow the steps below:

  1. Create the Automation Rule:

    • Navigate to the Automation Manager and create the automation rule for the Deals you wish to share.

    • Once the rule is created, go to the 'Sharing' option provided in the dropdown.


  1. Sharing with Partner Admins:

    • After selecting the "Sharing" option, navigate to the Partner Admin tab.

    • In the Partner Admin tab, you can search for and select the organizations with which you want to share the Deals.

    • Once the organizations are added, the Partner Admins associated with these organizations will have access to view the Deals.

  2. Sharing with Channel Managers:

    • Similarly, you can share Deals with Channel Managers by selecting the Channel Manager tab.

    • Add the relevant organization groups where the Channel Managers are assigned.

    • The Channel Managers associated with these groups will be able to view the Deals in their accounts.

  1. Saving and Finalizing:

    • After setting up the rules and selecting the organizations or groups, click Save to ensure that the changes are applied.

This feature provides enhanced control over how Deals are shared across Partner Admins and Channel Managers, making collaboration more seamless within the platform.

9. Under the action tabs, you have the ability to add or remove certain groups from certain lists based on the filters you set up in the previous step. You also have the ability to automatically update your contact information should they add any (such as entering additional/new contact information when downloading a whitepaper from your website). Once you have set up the proper action groups, click next to set up your notifications and automatic ToDos.

10. In the "Notifications and ToDos" section, you will be able to select which workflow rules alert you and other users about changes to the workflow, as well as the automatic creation of ToDo action items integrated with your CRM for your sales and marketing teams to utilize. Under the notifications section, you can select which users are enabled to be notified when a certain user or contact matches the criteria of a workflow, similar to the way a smart list works. Finally, hit the save icon to save your workflow.


(You also have the ability to set automatic ToDo's to associate with certain users (sales or marketing), which will be enabled and set once someone passes through the appropriate workflow. This defaults to a delay of one day for most actions taken.)

11. To assign users to your workflow, click on the "back" button to return to the main gallery.


12. The "More"  drop-down men in the upper right allows you to change views between the Info and Assignments view.

Assignments - The Assignments view allows you to manage which users are enabled to receive contacts and get evaluated through the workflow rules you have set up. You must have one assignment set to "Yes" before rules can be run.


13. Once your workflow rules and actions have been setup, you now have the ability to copy, delete, and reorganize the steps. The back button will take you to the Automation Manager home, where you can see the newly created workflow. From this automation manager dashboard, you'll be able to now run and start the workflow rules to enable your marketing and sales teams more effectively.

To run these workflows, click the button which shows the current status of "Stopped", to toggle the status to "Running" and the process will run through the rules. You can view the results of the workflow by selecting the workflow and then choosing the "Reports" option under the "View" button.



14. The Reports view offers a number of different info points that allow you to see how effective each of your rules are when it comes to dividing contacts based on your rules. These workflows allow you to easily and automatically manage those contacts in ways that enable your teams to be much more efficient.

The Automation Manager Workflow now includes a new option called 'Run Instantly.' Enabling this option ensures that the updated action takes place immediately after the condition is met
