You can create automated task actions to streamline your workflow. For example, you can automatically create a standard workflow task for Sell users whenever a new lead, contact, or deal is added.
You need Sell admin rights to create automated task actions.
To create an automated task action
- Click the Settings icon (
), then select Business Rules > Automated actions.
- Click Build your first action.
- Select the trigger event for the new action.
- Click Continue to Event Actions.
- Define your automated action, that is, what happens when the trigger event occurs.
-
You can create a single or multiple tasks. In this example, when a deal is created an owner is assigned. To create another task for this action, click Create task.
-
When you create an automated action for a deal, you can also update a custom field. To update an existing custom field, click Update custom field and select the custom field from the drop down list and then enter the custom field value.
- When you’re done, click Activate Automated Action.
Your automated task actions are listed on the Automated Actions page, where you can edit or delete them.

Hi, I'm trying to use this functionality on my Professional account, however it won't let me have it enabled. See screenshots below:
This is what happens when I click on upgrade link
Please enable the features we're paying for.

I wanted to do this but when I try to do it, it says we need to upgrade. When I follow the link to upgrade it just leads to a page saying “Oops! This help centre no longer exists”. Can it really be that it is not a part of Professional?

I definitely understand your point on the importance of this functionality. Would you mind posting your use case to our Feedback on Sell topic? We have a template you can copy and use in your post. This is to help get more visibility and votes on the idea. Then, others can share their use cases to further drive demand for that feature. Thanks!

If Automated Actions cannot be tailored to individual preferences, then this functionality is not very valuable. If you want to create a truly great program, then each agent or team should be able to customize it. Having one setting on a company-wide level does not reflect the needs of real life sales teams. These sort of actions can be tailored in Support, why not Sell?

Unfortunately, it's does not have the capability to send email automatically. It will just be for a task, which can also notify the agent to send the email.
Hi Rodger,
As it turns out, the functionality to control the automated tasks for individual agents is not available.

Is there a way to customize these actions for individual sales reps rather than the whole team? Our sales team has 5 people and each of us have different styles and different types of customers. I want to set up these automatic actions but only have them apply to my actions, not the action of someone else on the team.
I know that I can control who the action is assigned to. But there doesn't seem to be any control over who controls the action. In other words, when I set up an action for a when a new lead is created, can this be limited to just leads that I create? Otherwise, I am not sure that this feature is very useful. Thanks!

hi support team,
Can I use this feature to send an email automatically to the customer? for example, if the condition stage is rejected, then Sell will send a reject notification email to the Customer.

Hi,
We are on the Professional plan but don't have access to Automated Actions, as it says we need to upgrade to access. How can we resolve this?
Thanks
Scott

I'd recommend cross posting your feedback in our Sell Product Feedback topic since our Sell product managers actively monitor that topic for user suggestions.
If you're unsure what to include in your feedback post, you can use the following template.
Thanks for taking the time to share this with us!
