This automation applies to Pipedrive but a similar effect can be achieved with other CRMs.
Use case
As a sales rep I want to know when a lead is ready to buy and with Outfunnel's lead scoring feature it's possible to achieve just that.
Outfunnel updates a person field Lead score from engagement (web site visits, email engagement, CRM activities) and demographic data (CRM fields). Once a score reaches a certain threshold it's possible to set up a Pipedrive workflow automation to do a variety of actions. A few examples below:
automatically notify the rep via Slack, email or a new activity in the CRM
update contact or organization fields
create a deal when the score reaches a certain threshold
This article focuses on the first use case of notifying the sales rep.
Solution (5 min)
Head to Pipedrive automations and set up a new automation with the following parameters.
1. Triggered by and trigger
We recommend choosing "triggered by any user" as that way the automation will run regardless of who does the update.
The trigger starts the automation and in this case it's "Person updated" as the lead score is a person level field.
2. Instant condition
We'd only want it to trigger when two conditions are met:
Lead score is more than or equal to a certain threshold. This threshold depends heavily on how you've configured your lead scoring system
Lead score was lower than the threshold. This ensures that it only runs when the threshold is exceeded
3. Create activity
In this example, the automation creates an activity for the sales rep but you can also have it send a Slack update, send an email, update the person field, create a deal or anything else that makes sense for your workflow.
4. Activating and testing
Lastly, simply activate the automation. To test if it works as expected, simply update a sample person's lead score field to above the threshold.
