Feature Overview

What Are Workflow Rules for Custom Taps?

Workflow Rules for Custom Taps in Salesboom CRM allow you to write your own automation rules tailored to your unique business processes. Rather than forcing your team to conform to rigid, one-size-fits-all workflows, Salesboom empowers you to define exactly how your CRM should behave—across sales, marketing, and customer support.

When a record is updated and meets the conditions you define, the CRM automatically takes action: reassigning the record, sending alerts, triggering notifications, or creating tasks. This eliminates repetitive manual work and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.

Salesboom is the only cloud-based CRM vendor to offer time-based workflow rules for custom taps on all editions—at no additional charge.

The Problem

Why Modern Businesses Need Workflow Rules for Custom Taps

Without automated workflow rules, your team is left managing processes manually—tracking updates in spreadsheets, sending repetitive follow-up emails, and manually reassigning records between departments. This approach is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale.

Wasted Sales Rep Time

Sales reps spend hours on administrative tasks instead of closing deals—manually updating records, sending routine follow-ups, and reassigning tickets that should be automated.

Inconsistent Process Execution

Without rules, every team member executes processes differently. Inconsistency leads to errors, data quality issues, and a customer experience that varies person to person.

Missed Follow-Ups and Lost Deals

Manual follow-up tracking falls apart at scale. Deals go cold, support tickets go unresolved, and opportunities disappear because no one got the right alert at the right time.

High Operating Costs

Redundant manual steps drive up labor costs and limit your team's capacity to grow. Every hour spent on repetitive tasks is an hour not spent on revenue-generating activities.

No Cross-Department Standardization

Sales, marketing, and support operate on different processes with no shared rules. Handoffs are messy, data is inconsistent, and accountability is unclear across departments.

Impossible to Scale Without Automation

As your team grows, manual process management collapses under its own weight. Workflow automation is not a luxury—it is the foundation that makes growth sustainable.

Setup Guide

How to Create Workflow Rules for Custom Taps in Salesboom

Setting up Workflow Rules for Custom Taps in Salesboom is straightforward. Follow these steps to get your first automated workflow running in minutes.

Go to the Control Panel tab page in your Salesboom CRM account and select the WorkFlow Section. This is your central hub for managing all workflow rules and automations across your entire organization.

Inside the WorkFlow Section, choose the “Workflow Rules For Custom Taps” option. This is where you can view existing rules or create new ones tailored to your specific business processes.

Click “Add Rule” and fill in all required fields to define your automation logic—including the trigger conditions, record type, and the actions the system should take when those conditions are met. Click Save when done.

Click “View Alerts” to associate your rule with alerts. You can choose to Add an Email Alert, Add a Notification Alert, or View existing Rules for both standard taps and custom taps. This ensures the right people are notified at the right time.
