Automations

Simple reminder and confirmation rules, quiet hours and execution guarantees. For waits and conditions, see flows.

Updated:

There are two automation tools:

  • Rules: "when this happens, send that message". They are the simplest way to send reminders and confirmations. They are managed in Automation → Rules.
  • Flows: they wait, decide with conditions and act on tasks. See Flows and Conditions.

Rules

A rule has a trigger, the message it sends (a template with preview) and, if you want, a filter by stage or action. Each business creates, activates and adjusts its own: industry templates do not turn rules on by themselves.

Triggers

TriggerExample
Booking confirmationSend the summary
Some time before the start24 h before: send a reminder
Some time after the endFollow-up message
Cancellation or rescheduleNotify the customer
Stage or action changeWhen the task moves to another stage (for example "Out for delivery")
Fixed time of dayTeam alerts, such as the day's agenda

Rules aimed at customers go out through WhatsApp. Team alerts go out through Telegram, WhatsApp or email, depending on how each person receives alerts: see Team Telegram.

In each rule you see the latest sends with their status and the reason if one failed.

Execution guarantees

  • Each send is scheduled together with the event that causes it, so it is not lost.
  • Before going out, the system checks the task again. If it was rescheduled or cancelled, the old send is discarded.
  • Each send goes out once and, if it fails, retries with growing waits; after 5 failures it shows in the panel.
  • Quiet hours: nothing is sent to customers between 21:00 and 08:00 in the business's time zone. The send is deferred, not lost.
  • YES/NO replies ("yes", "ok", "👍", "não"...) are interpreted without AI: instant and free.
