Workflow Automation

Workflow Automation is the use of technology to streamline and automate repetitive tasks, processes, or sequences in business operations. In B2B marketing, sales, and customer success, workflow automation improves efficiency, reduces manual errors, and ensures timely and consistent engagement with prospects and customers.

What Is Workflow Automation?

Workflow automation involves creating logic-based systems that perform tasks automatically when certain conditions or triggers are met. These workflows can involve multiple tools (e.g., CRM, email platform, enrichment APIs) and can range from simple rule-based tasks to complex multi-step processes across departments.

In B2B, workflow automation is essential for lead nurturing, data enrichment, email campaigns, sales handoffs, and customer onboarding.
