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:

  1. Trigger: Lead created
  2. Condition: Source is Website form
  3. Action: Send WhatsApp message → select your welcome template
  4. 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.
