Every action a rule can take

Updated in 5.20.43

What a rule can do, as Add an action on the Then tab names it. The list offers only what the chosen record can really be asked to do.

Where

Flowmind › Rules › + Add rule › Then

Who

Anyone allowed to create a rule, and only for actions they could do themselves: saving is refused otherwise, with the right that is missing.

A rule's own Actions tab lists its steps in the order they run.

A rule's Actions tab: create a task, send a notification, create a reminder

The actions every module shares

ActionWhat it does
Set a fieldWhich field of the record, and Set it to a value.

Add a followerAdds a person who follows the record.
Mark / unmark a flagWhich flag, and Set it On or Off, for example a lead marked as junk.
ConvertTurns the record into what its module converts it to, for example a lead into a customer.
Create a recordMakes a new record, from the fields filled in on the step.
Create a taskMakes a task from a Task template (see Flowmind settings), or one named here with its Task name and Who does it.
Create a reminderA Reminder title, due In how many days, on the record that set the rule off.
Create a note or commentWrites the Note text on the record.
Send an emailSends an Email template to the record's customer contact, its owner, a colleague or an address, and to anyone ticked under Also send to: see Tell several people.
Send a notificationRings the bell of the record's owner, a colleague, or only the people ticked under Also notify: see Tell several people.
Run an approvalOpens the record's approval chain: see Approval steps.
ArchiveArchives the record through its own module, so a module that may not archive it (a paid invoice, an asset that is checked out) refuses, and the refusal is written to the run's history. Never on a document that carries money or a signature against it. Nothing is deleted.
Call a webhookSends the record to an address outside, such as another system your company uses: see Call a webhook.

Actions a module adds of its own

Some modules add actions only they can do. They are offered only on that module's records:

Issue the invoice · Put the customer in a group · Create a draft copy of an invoice · Raise an invoice from the contract · Change the contract's customer · Mark the contract as signed · Unmark the contract as signed · Change the status of the contract's project · Convert the expense to an invoice · Add a member to the project · Change the project's customer · Raise a draft purchase request · Create a draft copy of a purchase request · Create a draft copy of a purchase order · Raise a draft receiving voucher for the order · Raise a draft invoice from the estimate · Create a draft copy of an estimate · Create a draft copy of a proposal · Raise a draft delivery voucher for the invoice · Create a copy of a receiving voucher · Raise a draft invoice for the shipment · Remind the approver of a waiting leave request · Create a copy of a delivery voucher · Start an onboarding checklist · Start a leaver checklist · Book a training programme · Reach: send an email · Add a shipping log entry · Create a task for the customer's owner · Reach: send an SMS · Create a lead for the account's sales agent · Reach: send a WhatsApp message · Reach: put on the call list · Reach: award points · Reach: move to a stage · Ask the customer to rate the ticket · Create a project from the idea · Concierge: send the booking confirmation on WhatsApp · Create a task from the idea · Concierge: send the service survey on WhatsApp

A step that cannot be done on a record (a status that record does not have, a person who has left the company, a document already approved) is not done in silence: the run's history says which step stopped and why. See Flowmind histories.
