Welcome to Workflow Wednesdays with Swantide! We're here to introduce you to our latest Salesforce automations that you can enable from our App! Discover workflows that notify your teams of recent record changes via Slack and automate key data points, like Picklist Fields, for increased efficiency and fewer clicks!
Update Lead Picklist Field on Logged Task or Event
This Swantide Workflow is great for anyone who wants to automatically update a Picklist Field when an Activity (Task or Event) is logged on a Lead or Contact record. For example, if a Task or Event is created on a Lead Record, you can use the above workflow to update the Picklist Field “Lead Status” to “Working.”
Update Contact Picklist Field on Logged Task or Event
Similar to the above workflow, if a Task or Event is created on a Contact record, you can use this workflow to update a Picklist Field.
Slack Notification for a Picklist Value on Lead Records on Lead Create
This Swantide Workflow will send a Slack Message to a designated Slack Channel when a Picklist Field is set to a specific Picklist Value on Lead Create or Update. For example, when a Lead is created or updated and Marketing Stage (Picklist Field) equals the value of "MQL" you can have a Slack Message sent out to a Slack Channel such as #MQL-Leads.
A prerequisite for getting started with this Workflow is to first set up Slack for Salesforce which can be found in this article.
Slack Notification for a Picklist Value on Contact Records on Create or Update
Similar to the above, this Swantide Workflow will send a Slack Message to a designated Slack Channel when a Picklist Field is set to specific Picklist Value on Contact Create or Update.
A prerequisite for getting started with this Workflow is to first set up Slack for Salesforce which can be found in this article.
Automatically Create an Opportunity Based on a Value on a Free Text Field
When a Free Text Field is populated with a specific string value on a Contact Record, this workflow will automatically create an Opportunity for the Account that the Contact belongs to. With additional variable inputs, you can set which Account Type the Opportunity should be created for as well as the Opportunity Type and Lead Source.
For any teams that use Chili Piper, this Workflow is for you! Chili Piper comes with a Free Text field such as “Meeting Type”. Therefore, if “Meeting Type” = “Demo Request”, Salesforce will then create an Opportunity based on the Account and Contact.
Sync a Specific Picklist Value Between Product Instance Record(s) and Lead
For those of you using Swantide’s Product Data Package, this Swantide Workflow can help you update the corresponding Picklist Field on the Lead Record.
For example, say you have a Picklist Field called “Subscription Status” on both the Lead and Product Instance Object. Using this workflow, when a Product Instance record is created or updated with the Picklist Field “Subscription Status” set to “Active,” this workflow will then update the related Lead’s Picklist Field “Subscription Status” to “Active.”
