Send automatic notifications to the third-party providers
Edition: All editions | Industry: Travel | Features: Workflow Rules
Scenario
Zylker Travels offers various tour packages to its customers ranging from adventure trips, family outings, destination holidays and weekend getaways. Their customer flow mainly happens through the company's website, where they fill out the required details and the reps follow-up with them based on the individual's interest and enquiry.
The company hopes to streamline, categorize, and expedite the lead management process for two types of customers through workflow rules.
- Condition 1: They want to send welcome emails immediately to those customers who have chosen the travelling month as current month and are not travelling solo. These customers must also be tagged as high priority, so the reps can promptly tend to their queries. Also, the reps should make a call to the prospects soon after the webform is submitted.
- Condition 2: Zylker conducts solo trips in partnership with a third-party event organizing group ZK Adventures. It therefore wants to notify them about the interested prospect and also redirect the individual to them. They create a webhook to send them notifications as soon as the webform is submitted in Zylker's website.
