Automation Builder
Build powerful trigger-action workflows that run your sales ops on autopilot.
The Automation Builder lets you create event-driven workflows that execute automatically when specific conditions are met. Whether it's auto-assigning leads to reps, creating deals when a positive reply is detected, or sending Slack notifications when a deal moves to Negotiation — automations handle the repetitive tasks so your team can focus on selling.
Trigger
Lead Replies to Email
When any lead replies to a campaign email
Condition
Sentiment is Positive
AI detects positive intent in the reply
Actions
Create Deal + Notify
How Automations Work
Every automation follows a simple pattern: Trigger → Conditions → Actions.
- Trigger — The event that starts the automation (e.g., “Lead replies to email”)
- Conditions — Optional filters that must be true for the automation to proceed (e.g., “Reply sentiment is positive”)
- Actions — What happens when the trigger fires and conditions are met (e.g., “Create a deal and notify the owner”)
Available Triggers
Automations can be triggered by a wide range of events:
Lead Triggers
- Lead Created — When a new lead is added (import, manual, or API)
- Lead Score Changed — When a lead's AI score crosses a threshold
- Lead Status Changed — When a lead moves to a new status
- Lead Enriched — When enrichment data is added to a lead
Campaign Triggers
- Email Opened — Lead opens a campaign email
- Link Clicked — Lead clicks a tracked link
- Email Replied — Lead replies to a campaign email
- Email Bounced — Email delivery failed
- Sequence Completed — Lead finished all sequence steps
Deal Triggers
- Deal Created — New deal added to the pipeline
- Deal Stage Changed — Deal moves between pipeline stages
- Deal Won — Deal moves to Closed Won
- Deal Lost — Deal moves to Closed Lost
- Deal Stale — Deal hasn't had activity for X days
Communication Triggers
- Call Completed — A voice call ends
- SMS Received — Incoming SMS from a lead
- Meeting Scheduled — Calendar event created
Conditions
Conditions let you filter triggers so automations only run when specific criteria are met. You can combine multiple conditions with AND/OR logic.
Common conditions:
- Lead Score — Above, below, or between specific values
- Lead Tags — Has or doesn't have specific tags
- Company Size — Employee count ranges
- Deal Value — Above or below a threshold
- Reply Sentiment — Positive, negative, or neutral (AI-detected)
- Time-Based — Only during business hours, specific days
- Owner — Lead or deal assigned to specific team member

Available Actions
When conditions are met, automations can execute one or more actions:
Lead Actions
- Update Lead Status — Change to any status
- Assign Owner — Assign to a team member (round-robin supported)
- Add Tags — Apply tags to the lead
- Enrich Lead — Trigger AI enrichment
- Add to Campaign — Enroll in another campaign
- Remove from Sequence — Stop outreach for this lead
Deal Actions
- Create Deal — Automatically create a deal from the lead
- Move Deal Stage — Advance or change the deal stage
- Update Deal Value — Modify the deal amount
- Assign Deal Owner — Transfer ownership
Notification Actions
- Send Email Notification — Alert a team member via email
- In-App Notification — Push notification in Clozup
- Webhook — Send data to external systems (Slack, Zapier, custom APIs)
Webhook integrations
Use webhook actions to connect Clozup with tools like Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, or any system with an API. The webhook payload includes the full event data so you can build powerful cross-platform workflows.
Pre-Built Templates
Clozup includes automation templates for common workflows:
- Hot Lead Alert — Notify owner when lead score exceeds 80
- Auto-Create Deal — Create deal when a positive reply is detected
- Stale Deal Escalation — Notify manager when a deal has no activity for 7 days
- Round-Robin Assignment — Distribute new leads evenly across the team
- Win Celebration — Send team notification when a deal is won
- Re-Engage Cold Leads — Add leads to a nurture campaign when they go cold
Monitoring & Logs
Every automation execution is logged with a detailed audit trail:
- Trigger event timestamp and details
- Conditions evaluated (pass/fail)
- Actions executed with results
- Error details if any action failed
Access logs from the automation detail page or from Admin → Audit Logs.
Avoid infinite loops
Be careful with automations that trigger other automations. For example, an automation that changes a lead status could trigger another automation watching for status changes. Clozup has built-in loop detection (max 5 chain depth), but it's best to design your workflows carefully.
