Starting with Employee Alerts
Firstly, let’s focus on employee alerts. These are among the most commonly used robots in Bitrix24 due to their simplicity in setup and vital role in the workflow.
Let’s say, for example, a new lead is generated in your system (be it through an online form, social media integration, or any other means). As soon as the lead is generated, it’s essential to notify the responsible person. An employee alert robot will do precisely this – it will send an immediate notification to the responsible person, informing them about the new lead and urging immediate action.
Customizing the Notification
You can customize this notification according to your needs. You can add the lead’s name, the time of creation, and specify actions that the responsible person should take, like calling back the client within the next 15 minutes. The sender can be set as per the hierarchy, like a boss or head of the department.
Implementing Business Logic
It’s possible to add business logic to these robots as well. For example, you can set a rule that the lead should move to the “In Process” stage within 15 minutes of creation, indicating the manager is attending to it.
However, if the lead remains in the “New” stage even after 15 minutes, the robot will send a notification to the supervisor and the responsible person, informing them about the delay. The supervisor can then take necessary action to ensure the lead is attended to promptly.
Post-Process Notifications
Once the lead moves from the “New” stage to the “In Process” stage, you can also set the robot to make a post about the progress. This way, everyone involved in the process will be aware of the lead’s status.
In essence, Bitrix24 robots are essential tools that aid in optimizing operations, enhancing employee productivity, and ensuring swift action on leads and deals. Stay tuned for the upcoming articles where we delve deeper into more specific robot functions and how to utilize them efficiently.
