What are Workflows? Plus

Workflows automate lead communication in Flashquotes with intelligent email sequences. The platform offers five workflow triggers: Quote Requested workflows that engage leads immediately after form submission, Quote Sent workflows that follow up after you send quotes, Quote Booked workflows that automate post-booking communications, and event-based triggers (First Event Start and Last Event End) that automate communications around actual event dates.

Available Features

  • Quote Requested Workflows: Automatically engage leads the moment they submit your lead intake form
  • Quote Sent Workflows: Customizable email sequence for quote follow-ups — create multiple workflows and choose which one to use when sending each quote
  • Quote Booked Workflows: Automate post-booking communications when a quote is booked
  • First Event Start Workflows: Time-sensitive communications before, during, or after the first event begins
  • Last Event End Workflows: Post-event follow-ups and re-engagement campaigns after the final event concludes
  • Flexible Workflow Management: Add, edit, or delete workflow steps to match your sales process
  • Automated Timing: Configure follow-up intervals optimized for your business
  • Automatic Rescheduling: Event-based workflows reschedule when event dates change
  • Dynamic Content: Shortcodes automatically insert quote, lead, and booking details
  • Email Templates: Pre-built templates for Quote Sent workflows, fully customizable for others
  • Gmail Integration: Choose which connected Gmail account sends workflow emails
  • Multiple Workflows per Trigger: Create multiple workflows for the same trigger and set a default
  • Resume Capability: Restart stopped workflows when leads re-engage

  4. Leads are automatically enrolled when they submit your lead intake form
Quote Sent Workflows:
  1. When sending a quote, toggle “Enroll in workflow” to activate the sequence
  2. Select which workflow to use from the dropdown (the default is pre-selected)
  3. Leads automatically receive follow-up emails based on the selected workflow
  4. Each email uses customizable templates with your quote details
