User Workflow Rules

User Workflow Rules

Workflow rules help you organize the tasks more efficiently by setting criteria and actions that meet your project requirements. User Workflow rules are automation rules laid out to be executed around actions related to the users of the portal. It requires a trigger that executes the rule and an action that is carried out automatically.

Idea
For example, if you want Email alerts sent to Managers and Finance team every time a new user accepts project invite, you can set conditions as shown. The rule triggers when a user Accepts the invite, and their User profile is Employee. An Email alert will be sent to selected profiles notifying them about the addition of an employee. If the condition doesn't match, the rule will check the next condition, if added, and will go on until the matching condition is found. The rule will exit after the first matching condition is found without checking the subsequent conditions.
