Step 1 – Access menu

With Forefront’s Status automation feature, you can easily automate multiple tasks in one go. This is ideal for completing routine tasks and sending automated messages to Leads when they enter a status.

Easily automate status updates by clicking on the three-dot menu button located beside the Column badges in the right-side column header.

Step 2 – Edit the status

After clicking the menu button, you can easily modify the status and add status automations in a pop-up window.

Step 3 – Add new action

Automate repetitive tasks when a lead enters a specific status with Status Automations. Start with Triggers, the pre-requisite for a specific action to happen. For example, select “Enter Status” for the “contacting” status to trigger the action you want.

Once you’re satisfied with the trigger, select “Add Task” to create a task that will automatically be generated with the trigger “Enter Status”. See the GIF below for a visual guide.

When you want to assign a task to someone, you can simply add it to the lead and specify the person responsible and the deadline for completion.
