Automations Overview
Automations are trigger-based rules that perform actions automatically when specific events occur in QuintaGo. They eliminate repetitive manual work — from sending a welcome message when a lead arrives, to moving a deal to a new stage when a proposal is signed.
Anatomy of an automation
Every automation has three parts:
- Trigger — the event that starts the automation
- Conditions — optional filters to narrow when it runs
- Actions — what happens when the trigger fires
Available triggers
- Lead created — fires when a new lead enters the system
- Stage changed — fires when a lead moves to a specific stage
- Proposal sent — fires when a proposal is delivered
- Proposal signed — fires when a lead signs the proposal
- No activity for X days — fires when a lead has not been touched
- Event date approaching — fires N days before the event date
- Message received — fires on inbound WhatsApp message
- Form submitted — fires on a specific form submission
Available actions
- Send a WhatsApp message (template or free-form)
- Send an email
- Move lead to a different pipeline stage
- Assign the lead to a team member
- Add or remove a tag
- Create a task with a due date
- Trigger a webhook
- Add a delay before the next action
Building your first automation
Go to Automations → New automation. A common starting point is an instant welcome message:
- Trigger: Lead created
- Condition: Source is Website form
- Action: Send WhatsApp message → select your welcome template
- Action: Assign to team member → round-robin
Automations run in real time. The welcome message typically arrives within 3 seconds of the lead being created.
Testing and monitoring
Each automation has a run log at Automations → Your automation → Runs. You can replay failed runs, inspect the trigger payload, and see exactly which action failed and why.
