With workflows, you can set up powerful automations to take care of repetitive tasks using simple if/then logic.

“If the body contains vegan, assign the conversation to Josie and add the tag recipe.”
If BODY contains VEGAN
Then ASSIGN TO JOSIE and ADD TAG(S) RECIPE
“If an active conversation has the Refund tag, copy it to the Refund Requests folder.”
If STATUS is equal to ACTIVE and TAG(S) contain REFUND
Then ASSIGN TO JOSIE and COPY TO FOLDER REFUND REQUESTS
“If an active conversation has the Delivered tag, send an email to the customer and change the status to closed.”
If TAG(S) is equal to DELIVERED
Then SEND AN EMAIL TO THE CUSTOMER and CHANGE STATUS CLOSED
