How Automation Works In SureTriggers

Automation in SureTriggers is based on Triggers and Actions.

A Trigger is an event that occurs in one app or service, and an Action is a predefined task that is performed in another app or service based on that trigger.

For example, a Google Sheet can be configured to update projects automatically on the Flowlu dashboard.

In this workflow, we’ll send an email notification to the sales admin once an advertisement expires.

• Select “Advanced Ads” as the trigger event.

• Select the trigger event “Ad Status Changed.”

• Select the preferred website under “Select Connection” and click Continue.

• Select the preferred ad under “Select Ad”.
• To send an email when a live ad expires, set the old status to “Published” and the new status to “Expired.” 
• Then, click the Continue button.

• Click the Fetch Data button to sync your data.

Finally, click on the Save button.

Setting Up An Action

To send an email notification to the sales admin after an ad expires, follow these steps:

• Click on the + icon to add a new action.
• Select the “Gmail” action app.

• Select the Send Email event under “Select Event”.

• Select the preferred email address under “Select Connection”.
• Click on the Continue button.

• Configure the email details here. (sender’s address, recipient’s address, subject, and body).
• You can add multiple recipients separated by commas.
• Additionally, you can type @ and add the ad data from previous steps in this email.

Click on the Continue button.

• Click on the Test Action button to ensure the email is sent correctly.

If the action is successful, you’ll get a test email on the specified email address. Click on the Save button then. 

Congratulations! Your workflow is live. 

Now, whenever an ad status changes from “Published” to “Expired,” the specified email will be sent automatically.

Feel free to experiment with different workflow combinations to find what works best for you.
