User Replied Workflow Trigger

SMBcrm can now start a workflow when a team member replies to a contact in a conversation. This helps teams automate internal steps based on agent activity, not only customer replies.

What changed

The User Replied trigger is available for SMBcrm automation workflows. It fires when a user sends a reply to a contact through a supported conversation channel.

After the trigger runs, the workflow can continue with actions such as:

  • Sending notifications
  • Applying tags
  • Assigning records
  • Creating follow-up automations

How to use it

  1. Open Automations > Workflows.
  2. Add the User Replied trigger.
  3. Configure any trigger filters needed for the workflow.
  4. Publish the workflow.

Once published, the workflow runs automatically whenever a team member replies to a contact and the configured conditions are met.

Example uses

  • When a sales representative replies to a new lead by SMS, update the opportunity stage to Contacted and notify the sales manager.
  • When a support agent replies to a customer email, add a Support Responded tag and create a follow-up task to check in after 48 hours.

Notes

  • The trigger activates only when a user sends a reply, not when a customer responds.
  • Use this trigger for internal workflow automation based on team activity.
