      • What actions can I add inside an automation flow?

      On the automation canvas, + opens a menu with the most used steps; the All actions item opens the full catalogue, grouped by category and searchable.

      Once picked, the step's settings open in a panel on the left of the canvas (the same one the funnel editor uses); on message steps the channel preview sits to the right of the panel. Esc or Cancel close it — with an unconfirmed change, Flows asks before discarding.

      Content channels

      StepWhat it does
      Send e-mailSends an email to the contact.
      Whatsapp messageSends a WhatsApp message to the contact.
      Text messageSends an SMS to the contact's phone.
      Automatic callPlaces an automatic call with recorded audio.
      Instagram MessageSends an Instagram direct message.
      Telegram messageSends a Telegram message.
      Reply CommentAutomatically replies to an Instagram comment.

      The Instagram, Telegram and comment-reply steps are only available when the automation's trigger provides that context — otherwise they show greyed out, with a note about which trigger to use.

      Logic

      StepWhat it does
      Create time delayWaits for a period before continuing the flow.
      Add a conditionalSplits the flow based on the contact's conditions.
      RandomizerDistributes contacts randomly across paths.
      RouterRoutes contacts by condition into one or more paths.
      MarkerLeaves a note at a point of the flow, such as “Day 1 · first contact”. It sends nothing and does not change the contact.

      Use the Marker to name the stages of a long cadence: the note shows on the block itself and in the history of every execution that passes there, so you can see which stage each contact is in without opening the message blocks. Click the block to edit the text (up to 200 characters).

      The conditional compares contact attributes: Name, Language and Profession.

      Customer information

      ActionWhat it does
      Add tagsAdds tags to the contact and to the opportunity the automation is handling.
      Remove tagsRemoves tags from the contact and from the opportunity the automation is handling.
      Assign opportunityCreates an opportunity for the contact in the CRM.
      Remove opportunityRemoves the contact's opportunity in the CRM.
      Schedule meetingSchedules a meeting for the contact in the CRM.

      When the automation runs Assign opportunity before a tag action, the opportunity created (or found) in that pipeline is the one that gets tagged — the tag shows on the kanban card alongside the opportunity's other tags.

      Teammate alerts

      ActionWhat it does
      Notify ownerNotifies the workspace owner.

      Integration

      ActionWhat it does
      CustomSends an HTTP request to any system.

      If it didn't work

      • The automation does not fire: check the start trigger in automation triggers.
      • The message does not go out: check the connected channel under messaging.
      • The action is greyed out: it depends on the automation's trigger — change the trigger or use another step.
