Chapter 12: Advanced Workflows
12.1 Complex Workflows
Advanced workflows use sophisticated logic and multiple conditions to create highly effective automation sequences. Create complex workflows that handle various scenarios and customer paths.
Complex Workflow Elements:
- Multiple Triggers: Various entry points
- Conditional Logic: If/then branches
- Multiple Paths: Different journeys
- Dynamic Delays: Variable timing
- Integration Points: Connect with other systems
Workflow Types:
- Nurture Workflows: Multi-step lead nurturing
- Onboarding Workflows: Complex user onboarding
- Re-engagement Workflows: Win-back campaigns
- Event-Based Workflows: Triggered by events
- Hybrid Workflows: Combine multiple types
Building Complex Workflows:
- Map customer journey
- Identify decision points
- Create branching logic
- Set up conditions
- Test workflow paths
