# Workflow Recipes

> Step-by-step guides for common automation use cases — lead generation, appointments, payments, campaigns, and more.

Workflow recipes are guided automation patterns for common business scenarios. Use these as starting points and customise them for your specific needs.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="mastering-workflow-recipes">
    Workflow Recipes are pre-designed templates that offer a starting point for creating workflows within the CRM. These templates are crafted to cover a wide range of business needs, from appointment booking to long-term customer nurture. The beauty of Workflow Recipes lies in their flexibility; while they provide a solid foundation, they can be fully customized to meet your specific requirements.

    ### Select a Recipe

    To start, navigate to ****Automation ****>**** Workflows ****>**** +Create workflow**** > ****Select a Recipe.****

  <Accordion title="a-simple-calendar-workflow">
    Calendar workflows are generally designed to automatically send communications to clients following a change in their appointment status, ensuring timely and consistent updates. The first step to creating a calendar workflow is ensuring you have a calendar to associate with your workflow.\*\*
    From your account dashboard, click "Calendars", then "Calendar Settings," and either create the calendar you need or verify the name given to the desired calendar.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-0-calendars.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx&q=85&s=b98ef02c498ee524b2d70baf2ace1da9" alt="Screenshot" width="1158" height="379" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-0-calendars.png" />
    </Frame>

    Once that is done, return to the main menu and choose "Automation".

    ### Setting Up the Workflow

    When you get to the Automations page, click the "Create Workflow" button located in the upper right corner. From there, you can either select a recipe or choose the start-from-scratch option.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-1-create-20workflow.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx&q=85&s=0fcc3498b52fa363a98751889d84fb17" alt="Screenshot" width="1157" height="341" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-1-create-20workflow.png" />
    </Frame>

    Five recipes can be adjusted to suit your appointment needs; however, we will walk you through the process of creating the workflow from scratch in this guide.

    The first step in creating any workflow is to rename it. Click on the existing name, delete it, and then enter a clear and concise name that accurately reflects the workflow's purpose, making it easy to identify from the list. Once you've entered the desired name, click anywhere within the builder to exit the name editor.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-2-rename-20.gif?s=304e02a47b3a7e0ce64d07658394785e" alt="Screenshot" width="1176" height="588" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-2-rename-20.gif" />
    </Frame>

    Next, choose the applicable appointment trigger. Some available options include: Appointment Status- which activates the workflow when there are changes in the status of the appointment, and Customer Booked Appointment- which activates the workflow when the appointment was booked using the calendar link.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-3-appointment.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx&q=85&s=48d14684fefd2595afb6ceb790e87f3f" alt="Screenshot" width="917" height="442" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-3-appointment.png" />
    </Frame>

    In this case, I am going to choose the "Appointment Status" trigger with the filters "In Calendar" and "Appointment Status Is" to only activate the workflow for confirmed bookings on the selected calendar. You can tailor this according to your preferences.

    📌\*\*Note\*\*\*\*: The Event Type filter is added by default to configure whether the automation should be activated for single or recurring bookings or both.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-4-filters.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx&q=85&s=4e963d2859291c156d2083f825909943" alt="Screenshot" width="1089" height="585" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-4-filters.png" />
    </Frame>

    Browse the other available filters to refine the criteria further, then save the trigger!

    ### Adding the Functionality

    Once you have the workflow created, named, and the Trigger set up, it is time to add functionality to it.

    Optionally, you can assign the contacts who enter the workflow to a user. This is particularly beneficial when a single user is responsible for managing the calendar or scheduling appointments. By making this assignment, the "from" fields in email forms will be automatically populated, eliminating the need for manual entry. If multiple users are selected, choose how you wish to split the traffic.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-5-assign-20to-20user-20.gif?s=9c2de3319f2f9a6b05972815f95a9682" alt="Screenshot" width="950" height="520" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-5-assign-20to-20user-20.gif" />
    </Frame>

    Next, Add a system tag if needed to group contacts who book in a particular calendar together.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-6-contact-20tag.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx&q=85&s=8864f7c8601035504be6f221ffe222af" alt="Screenshot" width="1105" height="523" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-6-contact-20tag.png" />
    </Frame>

    You can then send an Internal Notification to the Assigned User to inform them of the confirmed appointment on their calendar.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-7-notification-20.gif?s=328808117d340489a94988c1e3ca78fe" alt="Screenshot" width="938" height="524" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-7-notification-20.gif" />
    </Frame>

    Now, we are going to send a text message to the contact letting them know the appointment is confirmed. To do this, simply choose the "Send SMS" action, type out your message, or choose a snippet, and then save it.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-8-sms.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx&q=85&s=3d5aa9489c577e7ea8891eef8f4d320c" alt="Screenshot" width="919" height="489" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-8-sms.png" />
    </Frame>

    Add a one-minute wait step immediately after the SMS step. This allows the system to pause and makes the interaction seem more natural.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-9-wait-20.gif?s=c383aea9421f446b526478a4eff537b0" alt="Screenshot" width="938" height="528" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-9-wait-20.gif" />
    </Frame>

    Now you can add the "Send Email" action. Fill out the subject and the body of the email appropriately. Like the "Send SMS" action, you can choose an available template or craft the message from scratch.

    To send appointment reminders to the contact to prevent no-shows, you can add additional wait steps and email reminders. Here is how you would configure the wait step:

    1. Add the "Wait" action.
    2. Update the "Wait For" field to the "Event/Appointment Time" option.
    3. Choose whether the wait step should wait until before, after, or at the appointment time, and set the period for which it should wait.
    4. Select the desired action for scenarios where the timing of the wait step falls in the past. For instance, if a contact schedules an appointment for tomorrow but the wait step is set to trigger two days before the appointment (which would have been yesterday), you can specify how the workflow should proceed. The recommended approach is to skip all outbound communications in such cases to prevent sending irrelevant messages to contacts. This ensures that contacts are not overwhelmed with notifications that do not apply to their current situation.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-10-wait-20for-20appointmentn.gif?s=b218aff6311ad265e198baefcac7d1ee" alt="Screenshot" width="1428" height="792" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-10-wait-20for-20appointmentn.gif" />
    </Frame>

    Add the relevant communications, and repeat this process as necessary to send reminders before, at, or after the appointment time.

    Remember to publish and save your workflow to activate it!

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx/images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-11-publish.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JAA-4AwPEX6sdRhx&q=85&s=87854a6cc8fabe291832aedfc804c4c5" alt="Screenshot" width="940" height="246" data-path="images/automation-a-simple-calendar-workflow-11-publish.png" />

  <Accordion title="how-to-use-automation-for-lead-generation">
    Leveraging CRM automation can transform your engagement with leads and streamline your marketing efforts. Trigger links and custom values are essential tools in this process. Together, they help create more dynamic, personalized, and efficient workflows. This guide explores how these elements fit into your automation strategy and why mastering them can elevate your CRM game.

    ### Setting Up Custom Values

    Custom values act as placeholders, automatically filling in specific details like URLs or customer names during automation. For example, instead of manually entering unique links for every campaign, you can use a placeholder for a product page or order form.

    To set up custom values, go to your CRM\*\*\*\* Settings\*\*\*\* and select ****"Custom Values."**** Define the data you want to automate, such as appointment pages, product links, or survey URLs. Save these values, making them available for use in automation workflows.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/0O3V4qWRu_zieK6e/images/automation-how-to-use-automation-for-lead-0-new-20custom-20value.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=0O3V4qWRu_zieK6e&q=85&s=c3dd84cfcfe03c2360877cbdb5df6466" alt="Screenshot" width="1143" height="331" data-path="images/automation-how-to-use-automation-for-lead-0-new-20custom-20value.png" />
    </Frame>

    ### Creating Trigger Links

    Trigger links, on the other hand, enable your CRM to take immediate action when clicked. For instance, clicking a link in an email could trigger a follow-up message or add the user to a specific campaign.

    Navigate to the "Marketing" section in your CRM and click "Trigger Links". From there, select ****Links**** and click on ****Add link**** to create a new trigger link. Assign a name that reflects its purpose, such as "Order Form Follow-Up." Insert the URL using a custom value, ensuring it dynamically updates for each lead or campaign.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/0O3V4qWRu_zieK6e/images/automation-how-to-use-automation-for-lead-1-add-20link.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=0O3V4qWRu_zieK6e&q=85&s=ade69afc217a7159681ab24762cc9997" alt="Screenshot" width="1148" height="338" data-path="images/automation-how-to-use-automation-for-lead-1-add-20link.png" />
    </Frame>

    ### Implementing Automation

    Use the trigger link in your marketing communications, such as emails or text messages. When a recipient clicks the link, the CRM records the action and triggers any associated automation.

    Set up an automation workflow that starts with the trigger of a link being clicked. Add conditions to check if the desired action was completed on discount days or if the contact source was Facebook, for example. If the criteria were not met, the workflow can send follow-up communications or notify a team member to take further action.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/0O3V4qWRu_zieK6e/images/automation-how-to-use-automation-for-lead-2-workflow.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=0O3V4qWRu_zieK6e&q=85&s=0839398a13660c0bcbaddac252b2f041" alt="Screenshot" width="711" height="521" data-path="images/automation-how-to-use-automation-for-lead-2-workflow.png" />
    </Frame>

    ### Importance of Trigger Links and Custom Values

    Trigger links are not just clickable URLs—they are powerful automation tools that initiate workflows, track engagement, and take specific actions based on user behavior. When paired with custom values, they create personalized experiences for leads and customers, making your communications more relevant and impactful.

    By embedding these features into your CRM strategy, you can:

    * Reduce manual effort by automating repetitive tasks.
    * Improve lead engagement through tailored follow-ups.
    * Track behavior to better understand and address customer needs.

    ### Real-World Applications

    1. ****Lead Nurturing****: Use trigger links to identify and follow up with leads who engage with your marketing content but don't convert.
    2. ****Event Tracking****: Automate reminders for attendees who click a registration link but haven't completed their RSVP.
    3. ****Service Qualification****: Follow up with users who click a link for a service qualification survey but don't submit their answers.

    ### Troubleshooting Tips and FAQs

    * \*\*\*\*Custom Values Not Working?: \*\*\*\*Double-check your custom value setup and ensure placeholders are correctly referenced in automation.
    * \*\*\*\*Trigger Links Not Activating?: \*\*\*\*Verify that links are properly embedded and workflows are activated. Test the process end-to-end for any gaps.

    </Frame>

    ### Setting Up the Trigger

    Under the "Contact" section, select ****"Contact Created"****. This ensures the rule is triggered whenever a new lead is added to the system.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/817VkN1g-jTJavuz/images/automation-how-to-notify-users-when-a-lea-2-image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=817VkN1g-jTJavuz&q=85&s=89bc8cae5f98841ce6c1515a66ec4952" alt="Screenshot" width="1342" height="638" data-path="images/automation-how-to-notify-users-when-a-lea-2-image.png" />
    </Frame>

    If you want to narrow the trigger to specific contacts, use the ****"Define Filters"**** option. For instance, you can select ****"Has Tag"**** and specify a tag, such as ****"New Lead"****, to monitor only leads associated with that tag.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">

    ### Defining the Action

    Actions are what the workflow does after the trigger is activated. For instance, you can notify your team about new leads. To set up an action click the ****"+"**** sign below the trigger, and choose an action such as sending an email, SMS, or system notification. We will be using\*\*\*\* "Send Internal Notification".\*\*\*\*

    ### Email Notification

    To send email notifications effectively, follow these steps to configure the key fields:

    * \*\*\*\*From Name: \*\*\*\*Specify the name or email address that will appear as the sender. This could be your business email or a system-generated address, ensuring the recipient knows who the message is from.
    * ****From Email:**** Enter the email address the notification will be sent from. Make sure it's recognizable to avoid confusion.
    * ****To:**** Add the recipient's email address. If you're notifying multiple recipients, separate each email address with a comma to include them all.
    * ****Subject and Message:**** Craft a clear and concise subject line that highlights the purpose of the email. Write an actionable and informative message that delivers the necessary details. Use custom values (like the contact's name, email, or phone number) to personalize the email. For instance, include lead information to ensure the notification is relevant and meaningful to the recipient.

    Creating opportunities from form submissions is key to keeping your sales pipeline active and organized. By setting up automation, you can ensure that all incoming leads from your forms are automatically captured in your pipeline, making it easier to manage and nurture leads as they progress through each sales stage.

    Before linking form submissions to create opportunities, make sure your sales pipeline is ready by verifying that you have an existing pipeline within the "Opportunities" section within your platform. If not, create one and define its stages.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/5tauOmfLILVqoCrK/images/automation-how-to-automate-opportunity-cr-0-pipelines.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=5tauOmfLILVqoCrK&q=85&s=90385115795680da88c8542547bde5ff" alt="Screenshot" width="1614" height="459" data-path="images/automation-how-to-automate-opportunity-cr-0-pipelines.png" />

  <Accordion title="how-to-create-user-assigned-workflows">
    Efficiently managing contact assignments is crucial for ensuring seamless communication and follow-ups. A user-assigned workflow automates this process, enabling you to assign contacts to specific users and trigger personalized actions based on the assignment. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to create and customize a user-assigned workflow.

    ### Ensure a User Assignment Workflow Exists

    You must have an existing workflow that assigns users to contacts. Typically, this would trigger when a contact is created, with an action to assign the contact to a user. The workflow would contain the "Assign to User" action, which you can add by clicking the + sign.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">

In this guide, we'll walk you through setting up workflows for payment receipt, membership access, and follow-up engagement using real-world examples.

    ***

    ## Creating a New Workflow

    To get started, navigate to the Workflows section in your CRM. You can either create a new workflow from scratch or select an existing template that fits your requirements.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/5tauOmfLILVqoCrK/images/automation-how-to-automate-community-mana-0-image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=5tauOmfLILVqoCrK&q=85&s=24f47a54d9f5e56d1c391203399b934b" alt="Screenshot" width="1675" height="756" data-path="images/automation-how-to-automate-community-mana-0-image.png" />
    </Frame>

    ### Trigger Creation

    Click the Add New Trigger button, navigate to the "Payments" section, and select Payment Received as your trigger. This will let you automatically add new members to your community upon payment.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/5tauOmfLILVqoCrK/images/automation-how-to-automate-community-mana-1-image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=5tauOmfLILVqoCrK&q=85&s=caff238e31a1b54bf4c763d67768000b" alt="Screenshot" width="1243" height="791" data-path="images/automation-how-to-automate-community-mana-1-image.png" />

    </Frame>

    ### Filter for Successful Payments

    Triggers determine when a workflow activates. Use the "Payment Received" trigger to automate membership access. Add a second filter for Payment Status and set it to Success. This ensures the workflow only activates for completed payments.

    For instance: With Communities - Example Group, add a second filter for "Payment Status" and set it to "Success". This ensures the workflow only activates for completed payments.

    ### How the "Mark as Read" Feature Works

    Enabling the "Mark as Read" feature in your workflows impacts your conversations in several key ways:

    * ****Only Affects Outbound Messages****: Messages sent through workflows are automatically marked as read in your inbox, helping to minimize inbox clutter and improve efficiency.
    * ****Customer Replies Remain Highlighted****: Any unread replies from customers stay marked as unread, ensuring critical interactions are not overlooked.
    * ****Improved Focus on Relevant Conversations****: By auto-marking workflow messages as read, your attention is directed toward conversations that need immediate action or responses.

    This feature operates effectively in the background and does not affect your response rates or engagement metrics. It's designed to support better organization without compromising performance.

    ### Troubleshooting Tips

    * ****Workflow Not Marking Messages as Read****: Ensure the "Mark as read" option is enabled in the workflow settings. If it's enabled and messages are still showing as unread, check if there are any unread customer replies in the conversation.

    Before diving into appointment management, it's essential to understand what opportunities and pipelines are within the CRM. Opportunities represent potential revenue or conversions from leads, while pipelines help organize these opportunities into different stages of your sales or service process.

    ***

    ## Creating an Appointment Pipeline

    Navigate to the Pipelines tab inside the Opportunities section and create a new pipeline. This is where you'll manage different stages of interaction with your leads.

    </Frame>

    In the pop-up, name the new pipeline something relevant, like "Appointment Pipeline," and review you have enough stages. If not, click "Add Stage."

    </Frame>

    ### Define Stages

    Include stages such as "Confirmed", "Rescheduled", "Canceled", and "No Show" to track each appointment's status. Additionally, you can make each pipeline stage visible on either or both the Funnel and Pie charts by enabling each toggle. Remember to click Create to save the newly created pipeline.

    ## Handling Cancellations and No-Shows

    Since the CRM cannot automatically detect no-shows, a combination of automation and manual intervention is required.

    ### For Cancellations

    Create another Workflow, which we'll name "Appointment Canceled". Add the Appointment Status Trigger to activate when an appointment status is changed to canceled.

    ### Use Case

    Let's walk through a scenario where a lead books an appointment, and we manage its outcome:

    1. ****Lead Books an Appointment:**** This triggers the "Appointment Confirmed" workflow, automatically placing the lead in the "Confirmed" stage.
    2. ****Cancellation or No-Show:**** If the lead cancels (via a link in an email) or doesn't show up, you'll update the opportunity to the respective stage. For no-shows, this involves manually changing the appointment status.

    Managing appointments efficiently starts with a clear pipeline and smart automation. Use workflows to handle confirmations and cancellations, and manually update no-shows to keep everything organized. This process helps you stay on track and build stronger client relationships.

Ensure the message makes the recipient feel valued and that your campaign settings comply with SMS regulations. Incorporate the trigger link into your SMS message within the workflow, ensuring recipients can easily access the coupon.

    </Frame>

    Incorporate follow-up actions, such as applying tags and implementing wait steps, to optimize engagement. Remember to publish and save your workflow to preserve your settings, and thoroughly test it to ensure it performs as intended.

    Consider setting up additional workflows to interact with customers who click on the coupon link, using wait steps to avoid overwhelming them with immediate follow-up messages.

    By strategically using SMS marketing, you can drive customer engagement and maximize the effectiveness of your campaigns.

    ### Testing the Workflow

    Before activating your workflow, test it to confirm it works as expected:

    Create a Test Contact, and add the appropriate tag to simulate triggering the workflow. Then check the workflow steps, and use the already-built workflow to simulate time progression. Ensure the workflow pauses, sends messages, and loops as intended.

    When it comes to staying connected with your audience, an annual communication workflow ensures you're always one step ahead. By automating the process, you're free to focus on building stronger relationships while your CRM takes care of the repetitive tasks. With the right setup, this workflow can become invaluable in your communication strategy, keeping your contacts engaged and your campaigns running smoothly.

    ### Troubleshooting Tips

    * ****Workflow Not Triggering:**** Ensure the contact is correctly tagged and that there are no typos in the tag name.
    * ****Messages Not Sending:**** Check the content and settings of your email and text message steps. Ensure they are correctly configured to send.
    * ****Workflow Not Repeating:**** Verify the\*\*\*\* "Go To" \*\*\*\*step is correctly set to loop back to the \*\*\*\*"Wait" \*\*\*\*step.

    ### Connecting Both Parties

    Once the call is accepted, the CRM automatically dials the lead's number, connecting your team with the potential customer.

    ***

    ## Practical Example

    To illustrate, let's consider a scenario:

    1. The workflow initiates a call to your team member.
    2. The team member hears a whisper message detailing the lead's source.
    3. They press the designated number to accept the call.
    4. The CRM calls the lead and connects them directly with your team, creating an efficient and timely interaction.

    Automating call connections simplifies lead engagement and ensures no opportunity slips through the cracks. By setting up workflows with clear steps and actionable features like whisper messages and acceptance prompts, your team can focus on what matters most—building meaningful connections with potential customers.

    ***

    ## Troubleshooting Tips

    * ****Spam Risk Notification****: If calls are being flagged as potential spam, consider using a more recognizable phone number or informing leads ahead of time about the call they should expect.
    * ****Call Acceptance Issues****: Ensure the acceptance prompt is clear and that your team member knows which number to press to accept the call.

  <Accordion title="implementing-double-opt-in-system">
    A double opt-in system is a two-step process where a lead first opts into your communications and then confirms their opt-in through a subsequent action, typically by clicking a link in a confirmation email or text message. This system serves two main purposes:

    * Compliance with GDPR: It ensures that you are adhering to data protection regulations by obtaining explicit consent from your leads.
    * Verification of Information: It helps in verifying the accuracy of the contact information provided by the lead, such as their email address.

    ***

    ## Creating a Double Opt-In

    📌 Prerequisites: Before proceeding, ensure you have the following in place: a form designed to collect the necessary information for the initial opt-in, a funnel or website to which the form can be integrated, and a trigger link for users to confirm their opt-in.

    ### Triggering the Initial Opt-In

    Begin by adding your form to your funnel or website page, then create a workflow that activates when the form is submitted to trigger the initial opt-in process.

    <Frame caption="Image">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/lfJ_XlTfZFsowgJm/images/automation-implementing-double-opt-in-sys-0-submit-2bform.gif?s=b4f8d7b1409bf86c9c41f9a0bcae6d34" alt="Image" width="1364" height="842" data-path="images/automation-implementing-double-opt-in-sys-0-submit-2bform.gif" />
    </Frame>

    Use workflow actions to request confirmation of the opt-in, which may involve sending a follow-up email or text message asking the lead to confirm their preferences.

    <Frame caption="Image">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/lfJ_XlTfZFsowgJm/images/automation-implementing-double-opt-in-sys-1-send-2bemail.gif?s=540c8556d7a72d6c6a9dd0f58a42cd06" alt="Image" width="1410" height="916" data-path="images/automation-implementing-double-opt-in-sys-1-send-2bemail.gif" />
    </Frame>

    Within the initial communication (be it an email or text), include a specific link that the lead must click to confirm their opt-in. This is known as a trigger link.

    <Frame caption="Image">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/lfJ_XlTfZFsowgJm/images/automation-implementing-double-opt-in-sys-2-trigger-2blink.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=lfJ_XlTfZFsowgJm&q=85&s=3a0b7de06871aabaf97cceda9e3d3b70" alt="Image" width="1331" height="908" data-path="images/automation-implementing-double-opt-in-sys-2-trigger-2blink.png" />
    </Frame>

    Be sure to publish and save the workflow after adding your desired steps to ensure it is properly activated and ready to execute.

    ### Finalizing the Opt-In Process

    Set up an additional workflow to initiate when the lead clicks the confirmation trigger link. This action can trigger the next steps in your marketing or engagement strategy, such as enrolling the lead in nurture campaigns, applying tags for segmentation, advancing them through the sales pipeline, or activating other workflows.

    </Frame>

    Your first step here will be to select the page, and then select the Post Type. There are two post types, Published post which has all posts on your page, and Custom Post which pulls up the posts based on the Meta URL or ID.

    </Frame>

    Now select the post you want to be tracking, you can click the hyperlink to view the post on Facebook/Instagram. After it is selected please click Add filters to limit the kind of response to look for.

    </Frame>

    You can select between "Contains Phrase" and "Exact Match". Contains Phrase will look for comments that contain the desired phrase at some point in the message, Exact Match will only trigger the automation if the message has the exact text as you typed it in.

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/ssPuhtOz_dRMozzZ/images/automation-automate-facebook-instagram-co-3-image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ssPuhtOz_dRMozzZ&q=85&s=8aba19377f02515fb0ba2c6705240a9b" alt="Image" width="977" height="558" data-path="images/automation-automate-facebook-instagram-co-3-image.png" />
    </Frame>

    You can also toggle Track First Level Comment Only, this will make it so the automation is only triggered on the first comment. Which means responses would be excluded.

    <Frame caption="Image">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/ssPuhtOz_dRMozzZ/images/automation-automate-facebook-instagram-co-4-image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ssPuhtOz_dRMozzZ&q=85&s=dad0216a1d135fa70e8db70bf99a9f71" alt="Image" width="980" height="451" data-path="images/automation-automate-facebook-instagram-co-4-image.png" />

    If the person is interacting with your page for the first time they will be saved as a contact with their First and Last Name stored. Now you can use the actions in the Communications category to keep the conversation rolling.

    One of the actions you can use for that is the Interactive Messenger. This allows you to send a Messenger message to contacts, as long as they interacted with your Facebook/Instagram page in the last 24 hours.

    The first step will be to select the Reply Type. This could be "Reply to comment via DM" to respond to comments on a post or "Reply to DM" to send a response to direct messages by the customer. If you want to keep responding to messages inside the workflow any response after the first Reply to comment via DM will be a Reply to DM.

    After selecting the Reply Type you have to configure the message to send, you can write your message or choose one from your templates. You also can add attachments to your message by clicking select an attachment and uploading it from your drive or entering the URL to add the files.

    </Frame>

    You can also add buttons to your messages, you can set up the button to redirect the contact to your website or calendar, to give them your number for calls, or to perform a subsequent action inside the workflow. The button names will be displayed as the options for the customer, and the wait step lets the system know how long to wait for the customer to reply before moving them to the default branch.

    <Frame caption="Image">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/ssPuhtOz_dRMozzZ/images/automation-automate-facebook-instagram-co-8-image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ssPuhtOz_dRMozzZ&q=85&s=14f1e575faa65fde77f5918da583c2c5" alt="Image" width="724" height="570" data-path="images/automation-automate-facebook-instagram-co-8-image.png" />
    </Frame>

    When the action is added you will see one branch for each button you added and the Default branch so you can add the following actions.

    <Frame caption="Image">

    </Frame>

    📌Note: When using the Call Number button no further actions can be added underneath, instead the contact will be moved to the Default branch

    Another action you can use to keep the engagement rolling is "Respond on comment" which allows you to respond to comments directly on the post, you can program multiple responses for this and the system will randomly select the one to use or, by toggling the button, like the comment.

    ### ✍️Important Notes

    * If you want your CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system to send conversion data to Google Ads, make sure that the contacts or opportunities in your CRM are created through a web link that has a Google Click Identifier (Gclid) parameter.
    * Be patient, as it might take around 24 hours for your conversion data to show up in your workflows and in Google Ads.

  <Accordion title="how-to-use-internal-notifications-when-no-contact-is-enrolled-in-workflow">
    Workflows don't always begin with a contact record. Many automations are triggered by external events, such as webhooks, Marketplace apps, or other system-based actions. To support these cases, Internal Notifications can run even when no contact is enrolled in the workflow. This functionality allows your team to stay informed about operational events without needing to create workarounds.

    ### How to Use It

    Create (or open) a workflow with a webhook or Marketplace trigger (e.g., a task created in ClickUp).

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">

    Add an Internal Notification step and choose the notification type.

    </Frame>

    Select recipients (All Users, Specific Users, or Assigned User), enter channel-specific details, then save the action.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">

    </Frame>

    Combine with other workflow actions (e.g., task creation, webhooks) to automate full handoffs.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hoopai-84ec0cdc/0O3V4qWRu_zieK6e/images/automation-how-to-use-internal-notificati-3-actions.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=0O3V4qWRu_zieK6e&q=85&s=1f866c88b1e29ad96478498ce4eaeae1" alt="Screenshot" width="567" height="549" data-path="images/automation-how-to-use-internal-notificati-3-actions.png" />
    </Frame>

    Save and publish your workflow.

    ### Example Use Case

    A form submission creates a task in ClickUp. Once the external system confirms the task is created, the workflow sends an Internal Notification to the fulfillment team. If you've chosen In-App or Specific Users (email/SMS), the alert goes out immediately—even though no contact entered the workflow.

    With Internal Notifications working independently of contact records, your team can stay informed about critical operational events across all workflows. Whether triggered by webhooks, Marketplace apps, or other event-based automations, this feature ensures the right people are always notified at the right time—without unnecessary steps.
