Automating Workflow

Workflow management helps you to automate your business activities. They are a set of rules that are executed when certain specified conditions are met. These rules can include email alerts, tasks, field updates and webhooks that can be set as an instant action or time-based actions.

You can also communicate with third-party applications by sending instant web notification (one-way) every time an event occurs in Salesmate i.e. via Webhooks.
