Launching Workflow Conditions

You can specify different launch conditions for workflows.

• Launch on event: the workflow is triggered by the selected event;
• Regular launch: the workflow launches for the selected segments based on the specified conditions;
• Launch on contact field change: the workflow is triggered by the change in the user’s profile.

Event-based

Workflows triggered by the event are sent in response to a user’s action (trigger). It can be a subscription, registration, click in the message, purchase confirmation, app inactivity, etc. You can send events to Reteno via Firebase / API, and they can be generated within the system.

Let’s see how to configure the launch on the event using a workflow with a welcome mobile push as an example. This workflow is triggered by a registration in your app.

1. Create a workflow and select the message that will be sent to all new subscribers.

2. In Start configuration, select Event-based and select the event type.
3. In Process unique events, select once. This way welcome messages won’t be sent to users who attempt to register for the second time.
4. Click Apply.

5. In the general list, click Activate button and confirm it.

6. The workflow status will change to Active.

You can manage your workflows using the settings on the right.

Regular

Regular workflows are only launched for a dynamic segments. A dynamic segment includes users who match the pre-selected conditions. By default, regular workflows are launched once a day after users’ recalculation. You can change the frequency in the settings. Before creating a workflow, you need to create a segment you assign to this workflow.

1. Create a workflow and select the message that will be sent to contacts included in the segment.
2. In Start configuration, select Regular and select the segment. Configure other settings if needed and click Apply.

3. In the general list, click Start and confirm it.

On Contact Field Change

Changing the additional fields in the user’s profile can be a workflow trigger. It’s often used to notify about the completion of different actions, such as migration to another plan, subscription, change of preferences, unlocking a new loyalty program level, etc.

1. Create a workflow and select the message that will be sent to users whose profiles have been changed.
2. In Start configuration, select On contact field change and select the contact field. Click Apply.

Note that the workflow will launch only if the field is changed:

• After manual users’ import;
• After data transfer via the following methods:
  • Add contact
  • Add/update contacts
  • Get contact

If additional fields are changed manually or through any other method, the workflow will not start.
