CRM automation is the process of automating the manual processes that are necessary but repetitive in nature. It helps in streamlining and increasing productivity. Furthermore, automation helps to track the activities and engagement efforts of the different team members. Users can automate every aspect of a CRM system. For example, the sales team can use process automation to nurture leads, convert them, and simplify the sales process. On the other hand, support teams can use automation for quick responses.

In short CRM automation means automating the redundant process of sales and customer service which are time-consuming otherwise. Vtiger CRM also provides different automation tools, like workflows, contact management, lead creation, etc, but sometimes users need more powerful tools to tackle complex process automation. Keeping this in mind VTExperts developed power full automation tools in the form of extensions. Let’s check some basic automation features of vTiger CRM and VTExpert’s advanced automation tools.

vTiger CRM automations

Following are some of the most common vTiger CRM automation processes

1. Generating automated leads : vTiger CRM allows to configure of webforms, when this form is filled by a user a lead is generated in the CRM system

2. Send out automated emails: Another frequently used automation is to send out automated emails based on different conditions. For example, the system automatically sends an email to the client based on the new sales stage.

3. Helpdesk automation: Whenever a client sends a query through email, live chat, etc., an automated ticket is created in the CRM with respect to the issue the client is facing. Moreover, even when a client replies to a closed case the ticket will be opened automatically. A relative support rep is notified regarding the reopening of the ticket.

4. Update field values: This automation is used to fill the field values depending upon the condition specified. For example, if you are creating 50 contacts for an organization. Then instead of entering the address for every contact individually, you can configure automation which will autofill the address based on the organization.
