Preset Workflows

Preset workflows (presets) were introduced in A utomateWoo 5.1.

Presets are pre-configured workflows that you can choose from to quickly and easily create your own workflows. They include example content that you can build upon and modify to meet your store’s unique needs.

How do presets work?

↑ Back to top

Creating a workflow from a preset will create a draft workflow pre-configured with the appropriate trigger, rules and actions that will be needed (including adding some example email content).

Once the draft has been created, simply double-check the configuration and make any adjustments needed for your store’s unique requirements – then activate it.

Step by Step

↑ Back to top

We have added a new tab to the Workflows page called “Browse presets”. Navigating to this tab you will see a list of available presets.

2. Choose from the selection of presets and click either “Create workflow“.

3. This will create a draft (i.e. disabled) workflow and redirects you to the edit page. Here, you can review the draft workflow and modify it according to your requirements. For example, you may want to change the email content, or create a new coupon to include in the email.

Be sure to review all the information generated by the preset because in some cases (like coupons, for example) you need to update a few fields before activating the workflow.

4. In order to activate the generated workflow, after reviewing its fields and content, simply change its status from “Disabled” to “Active”, and save the workflow. Clicking save will display a final reminder to check the workflow configuration:

Confirm all the values
Review any email content/text
Substitute placeholder values (e.g. coupon templates)

5. Click confirm to active and save the workflow.
