Overview
Workflows and Automations are the orchestration layer of the Deeto platform. They allow you to define exactly when customer voice should trigger action — so the right outreach, content, or enrollment happens automatically, at the right moment in the customer lifecycle. Instead of manually tracking deal stages and deciding when to send a microsite or recruit a new reference, you configure a workflow once. Deeto handles the rest — enrolling contacts, delivering personalized content, and updating your CRM — every time the conditions are met. This is what the platform means by signal-driven workflows: a customer lifecycle event fires, Deeto interprets it, and the defined action executes without anyone having to initiate it.Screenshots of the Automations builder and trigger configuration panel would significantly aid clarity here. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you’d like a guided walkthrough.
How It Works
Every automation in Deeto follows a simple three-part structure: Trigger → Conditions → Action- Trigger — The event that starts the workflow. This is typically a CRM event (a deal marked Closed Won, a new lead created), a lifecycle moment (post-onboarding, pre-renewal), or a manual initiation.
- Conditions — Optional filters that determine whether the trigger should fire for a given record. For example: only fire when the opportunity value exceeds a threshold, or only when the contact has a valid email address.
- Action — What Deeto does when the trigger fires and conditions are met. Common actions include enrolling a contact in a reference recruitment campaign, sending a personalized microsite, or adding a recipient to a specific automation sequence.
Automation Types
Microsite Delivery Automation
Automatically send a personalized prospect microsite when a new lead is created or reaches a defined stage in your CRM pipeline. When this automation fires, Deeto reads the lead’s details from your CRM and delivers a microsite featuring customer references and marketing content tailored to that prospect’s segment. The assigned SDR is surfaced on the microsite with their name, photo, and a personal message — creating a seamless continuation of the prospect’s experience with your sales team. Typical trigger: New lead created in Salesforce or HubSpot What fires: Personalized microsite delivered to the prospect’s email Tracked automatically: Prospect engagement, content interactions, form submissions, call schedulingReference Recruitment Automation
Automatically enroll the primary contact from a won opportunity into a reference recruitment campaign the moment the deal closes. When an opportunity is marked Closed Won, Deeto reads the contact’s name, last name, and email from the opportunity record and adds them as a recipient in the automation you’ve configured. From there, Deeto manages the outreach sequence — sending the right messages at the right cadence to convert your newest customer into an active reference. Typical trigger: Opportunity marked Closed Won in Salesforce or HubSpot What fires: Contact enrolled in your reference recruitment automation No additional Salesforce configuration required once the automation ID is registered in DeetoCampaign Trigger Automations
Trigger any Deeto campaign — including AI-powered interviews, surveys, and content collection sequences — based on CRM lifecycle events such as post-implementation, pre-renewal, or support ticket resolution. This allows you to capture customer voice at precisely the right moment, without relying on anyone to remember to send an invite.Setting Up an Automation
Step 1: Access Automations
Navigate to Automations in your Deeto workspace. You’ll see a list of all configured automations with their current status (Active, Paused, or Draft).A screenshot of the Automations list view with status indicators would be helpful here.
Step 2: Create a New Automation
Click New Automation to open the automation builder. Give your automation a clear, descriptive name — for example, “Post-Closed Won — Reference Recruitment” or “New Lead — Enterprise Microsite.”Step 3: Choose a Trigger
Select the trigger type:- CRM event (Salesforce or HubSpot) — fires based on field changes or record creation
- Lifecycle event — fires based on a defined stage or date milestone
- Manual — fires when initiated directly from a contact or company record
Stage = Closed Won, Record Created).
Step 4: Define Conditions (Optional)
Add conditions to filter which records should trigger the automation. Common conditions include:- Contact has a valid email address
- Opportunity value is above a minimum threshold
- Company is not already enrolled in this automation
- Record belongs to a specific territory or segment
Step 5: Select the Action
Choose what Deeto should do when the automation fires:- Send Microsite — select the prospect template and, optionally, the SDR whose details should appear on the microsite
- Enroll in Reference Recruitment — select the automation sequence the contact should be added to
- Trigger Campaign — select the Deeto campaign the contact should receive
Step 6: Activate
Save the automation and click Activate. Once active, the automation will fire every time a matching record is created or updated in your connected CRM.Finding Key IDs
Your Prospect Template ID
Navigate to Prospect Hub and open the template you want to use. The template ID appears in the URL of that page.Your Automation ID
Navigate to Automations and open the automation you want to use for reference recruitment. The automation ID is visible in the page URL.Monitoring Automations
Once an automation is active, you can track its performance from the Automations dashboard:- Enrolled — total number of contacts who have entered the automation
- Delivered — actions successfully completed (microsites sent, campaigns triggered)
- Errors — records that failed to process, with reason codes
- History — a time-stamped log of every enrollment event

CRM Integration
Automations connect directly to your Salesforce or HubSpot instance. The connection is established during initial CRM setup and uses the same authentication as your broader integration. For Salesforce specifically, microsite delivery automations are configured using Salesforce Flow Builder and Deeto’s Named Credential setup. See the Salesforce Integration Guide for full technical setup instructions. For HubSpot, equivalent workflow triggers can be configured using HubSpot Workflows. See the HubSpot Integration Guide for details.The Salesforce automation setup requires admin access and approximately 30 minutes to configure end-to-end. Your Deeto Customer Success Manager can walk through the setup with you.
Best Practices
Start with one automation, then expand. Configure your highest-impact automation first — typically the post-Closed Won reference recruitment — and validate it end-to-end before adding more. A working automation you trust is more valuable than five automations you’re unsure about. Name automations clearly. Use descriptive names that include the trigger and action, so anyone on your team can understand what an automation does at a glance. Add conditions before going live. Always filter for valid email addresses at minimum. Automations that fire on records without contact data generate errors and create noise in your activity log. Monitor for the first week. After activating a new automation, check the enrollment history daily for the first week to confirm records are processing correctly. Common issues — wrong Named Credential, missing contact data — show up immediately. Coordinate with your CRM admin. For Salesforce in particular, the flow setup requires Salesforce admin access. Loop in your admin early so the integration can be tested before go-live.FAQs
Can a contact be enrolled in the same automation more than once?
Can a contact be enrolled in the same automation more than once?
By default, Deeto prevents duplicate enrollment — a contact who has already been added to a specific automation will not be enrolled again if the trigger fires a second time. If you need to allow re-enrollment (for example, for annual renewal campaigns), this can be configured in the automation settings.
What happens if the CRM trigger fires but the contact has no email address?
What happens if the CRM trigger fires but the contact has no email address?
The automation will log an error for that record. The contact will not be enrolled, and no action will be taken. We recommend adding an email address validation condition to all automations to prevent this.
Can I test an automation before activating it?
Can I test an automation before activating it?
Yes. You can run a test enrollment from the automation detail view by selecting a specific record and triggering the automation manually. This allows you to verify the full flow — from trigger to delivery — without waiting for a live CRM event.
How do I connect different microsites to different prospect segments?
How do I connect different microsites to different prospect segments?
In the automation builder, you can add a branching condition based on any CRM field (industry, company size, product interest, etc.) and route each branch to a different prospect template. This is configured in the Action step using the template selector.
What CRM events can trigger an automation?
What CRM events can trigger an automation?
Common triggers include: record creation (new lead, new contact), field value change (stage updated to Closed Won), date-based triggers (X days after close date), and custom events. The available triggers depend on your CRM and integration configuration. Contact your Deeto CSM if you need a trigger type that isn’t listed.
