How to Create a Workflow to Automate Calling Prospects
In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to create a workflow in LeadCenter.ai that automatically calls you (or selected team members) when a new contact is captured. This feature is ideal for ensuring fast follow-up with new leads, helping you connect while the contact is still highly engaged.
Step 1: Create a New Workflow
- From the main menu, go to Workflow Templates.
- Click New Workflow.
- Enter a workflow name, for example, “Call Smart Asset Leads.”
- Click Save to open the Workflow Designer.
Step 2: Set the Trigger
- In the Workflow Designer, click to add a Trigger.
- Select Contact Created.
- This means the workflow will automatically start every time a new contact is added to the system.
Step 3: Add a Filter
Filters let you specify when the workflow should run. For example, you may want it to trigger only for leads from a specific source.
- Click Add Filter and choose Only Continue If.
- From the dropdown, select Source.
- In the second dropdown, choose List Contains Selected Item.
- Enter or select the value Smart Asset.
- Rename the filter (optional) to something like Smart Asset Leads.
- Click the checkbox to enable it and then click Apply.
Step 4: Add an Action: Call Contact
Now you’ll set up the system to automatically call you when a new qualifying lead is captured.
- Click Add Action, then select Call Contact.
- Choose the virtual number that LeadCenter will call from.
- Select one or more users who will receive the call.
- If multiple users are selected, LeadCenter will round-robin calls among them.
- Configure the time window when users can receive calls (for example, during business hours).
- Click Apply to save the action settings.
Step 5: Save and Publish the Workflow
- Click Save, then Save and Publish.
- Your workflow is now active.
From this point on, whenever a new contact is created from the Smart Asset source, LeadCenter.ai will automatically call you (or the assigned users) to connect with the lead.
You’ll hear a voice message such as:
“You have a new lead from Smart Asset. Press 1 to connect.”
When you press 1, the system immediately calls the prospect, allowing you to engage in real-time without any delay.
