Understanding Orchestration Automations

  • Updated

Automations allow you to automate tasks that continuously evaluate records using selector logic and run qualified accounts or people through configured actions such as:

  • Add people to your Marketing Automation System when engagement drops.
  • Add qualified executives to Outreach or Salesloft when engagement points reach a defined threshold.
  • Add event attendees to a Salesforce Campaign to give sales visibility for follow-up.
  • Automatically create and assign Salesforce tasks to align sales and marketing.
  • Manage and update account and person data.

Licensing and Permissions

  • You must have Admin privileges or be assigned to a permission set for Orchestration. Any user with permission for Orchestration can access and manage all automations.
  • If you're licensed for Workspaces, you can manage automations within individual workspaces. See Manage Workspace Orchestration.

Automations Overview

To access Automations, from the left navigation bar, go to Orchestration_N.png Orchestration > Automations. Click the name of the automation. 

Each automation includes the following sections: 

  • Define Population: Choose a list or use selectors to identify accounts or people the automation runs against.
  • Estimated Results: Shows all of the accounts or people who are going to qualify for an automation based on the selector and the qualification rules you have set.
  • Automation Frequency: Set how often the automation runs and define how frequently a record can qualify.
  • Actions: Configure the actions the automation runs.
  • History:  See historical run activity and sync details.

The process for creating an Automation includes:

  1. Create a new Automation.
  2. Define the Population by choosing a list or using selectors to identify accounts or people.
  3. Set the Automation run frequency.
  4. Add and configure Actions.
