Feature · Workflow Automations

Workflow automations your ops team enables, not builds from scratch.

Strkr ships the automations revenue teams actually run as starter Flows. Lead routing, deal rotting, meeting prep, Monday digests, closed-won kickoffs, renewal flags, churn escalation. Each one copies, re-wires to your fields, and publishes in minutes.

What this catalog is for

The automations teams actually turn on, not a theoretical list.

Most workflow automation marketing pages list theoretical use cases. This page is the opposite: a concrete catalog of the automations we have watched produce visible ROI inside 30 days across tenants ranging from a 7-rep agency to a 220-rep enterprise sales org. Each one ships as a starter template a sales ops generalist can enable without engineering help.

Why cataloged

The common patterns are the valuable patterns.

A 40-rep team does not need 400 custom automations. It needs 20 reliable ones. The catalog below is the specific 20 that pay back fast. Each automation has been shipped as a starter template, which cuts the time-to-value from "write it from scratch" to "copy, re-wire, publish."

Copy and re-wire

Templates are not final; they are starters.

Every starter Flow lands as a copy in your tenant with placeholder fields. The RevOps lead walks the Flow once, points it at the real territory field, the real score field, the real Slack channel, and publishes. The copy pattern avoids the vendor lock-in of "the template owns the data."

Owned per team

Marketing, sales, CS, delivery own their own Flows.

The catalog is split by team so each team enables its own Flows under its own owner. The sales team owns the deal-rotting Flow. The CSM team owns the churn escalation. The marketing team owns the lead-triage. The admin layer stays sane because permissions are per-Flow.

Audit and retire

Not every template needs to stay on.

Enable the ones that fit, retire the ones that do not fire often. The Flows list sorted by run count surfaces the hot templates immediately. Pruning quarterly keeps the catalog legible instead of accumulating 200 Flows nobody remembers configuring.

No per-run meter

Enable all of them without math on the bill.

The runtime ships on Pro with no per-run meter. Enabling the full catalog does not change the bill. The incentive is to automate aggressively, not to ration which Flows live and which get axed because the vendor meters runs.

Native integrations

Every integration is a callable action.

The automations in the catalog use the native integrations: Salesforce, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Strkr Messaging for SMS. No middleman service to subscribe to for the connectors; each automation calls the integration from the same runtime that holds the record.

Lead-side automations

From form fill to assigned, scored, and ready.

Lead-side automations are the first wave teams turn on because they produce visible speed-to-lead improvements inside a week. The six below are the ones a RevOps generalist can enable in a morning.

Inbound triage

Form fill to AE in under a second.

Form fill, firmographic enrichment, Strkr AI scoring on fit and intent, route to the matching AE with a Slack ping and an attached prep brief. We have watched first-touch SLA move from 42 minutes to under 5 minutes on 80 percent of inbound after a 25-rep team flipped this flow on. The chain fires in under 500 milliseconds end to end.

Round-robin with capacity

Workload-aware routing, not blind rotation.

Instead of simple round-robin, the Flow checks the current rep workload (open leads, active conversations) before assigning. A rep carrying 40 open leads skips the queue; the next lead goes to the rep carrying 20. Weighted-rotation variants exist for territory-based or rep-tier teams.

Lead-to-contact dedupe

Match before you create.

When a new lead arrives, match on email domain and name against existing contacts. If a match exists, update the existing contact and attach the campaign source; if not, create a new lead. The pattern prevents the classic "the same person is in the CRM three times with three owners" mess.

MQL promotion

Score crosses threshold, promote and route.

A marketing-qualified lead crosses the configured score threshold. Flow promotes to a sales-qualified lead, assigns a BDR by region, creates a first-touch task with a 1-hour SLA, posts to the sales channel. The handoff that depended on manual review happens automatically with full context.

Reply triage

Interested replies land on the right desk.

Inbound reply lands, Strkr AI parses intent (interested, not interested, out-of-office, question, delegation), interested replies route to the right rep with the full thread attached. On a 25-SDR team, the ops lead stops triaging 500 replies per day, which is the kind of task cost that compounds silently.

Form-to-cadence

High-value forms enroll automatically.

Form fills on high-intent assets (demo request, pricing-page, ROI calculator) enroll the contact in the matching cadence immediately. The first touch happens inside 5 minutes; the second touch happens on the SDR's next working-hours block. The nurture motion starts without a manual pass.

Deal-side automations

Hygiene, pacing, and stage transitions.

Deal-side automations keep the pipeline clean and the forecast reliable. These are the automations managers quietly love because they produce the data cleanliness that makes the Monday meeting useful.

Stale-deal nudge

No touch in 10 days, draft the next move.

A Flow watches every open deal past Stage 3. When days-since-last-touch crosses 10, Strkr AI reads the last meeting summary and drafts the next-touch email. The draft lands in the AE queue with the reason attached. Teams that run this discipline see slip rate drop 30 to 50 percent in two full quarters.

Stage SLA tracking

Deals that overstay their stage surface.

Each pipeline stage has a configured SLA (Discovery 14 days, Qualified 30 days, Proposal 21 days). When a deal exceeds the SLA, the Flow raises a flag, notifies the owner, and surfaces on the manager's 1:1 view. The deal stops being invisible to anyone paying attention.

Commit changes

Downgrades trigger a conversation.

When a rep moves a deal from Commit to Best Case (a downgrade), the Flow notifies the manager with the deal context, the stage, the slip reason if provided, and prompts a 1:1 agenda item. The downgrade stops being a silent change in a dashboard.

Won kickoff

Signature triggers the whole post-sale chain.

Deal moves to Closed Won, Flows spawns the delivery project with the right template, drafts the welcome email with AI, creates the Google Calendar kickoff invite, invoices through the billing tool, and pings the CSM with a handoff brief. The handoff that used to take two days of coordination happens in 90 seconds.

Lost analysis

Closed Lost reasons tracked and rolled up.

When a deal moves to Closed Lost, the Flow prompts the owner for a loss reason (if one is not already set), tags the deal with the reason category, and rolls up loss reasons monthly for pattern analysis. The classic "we lose to pricing" story becomes a measurable claim or a disproved assumption.

Expansion flag

Signals that the account is ready for a bigger ask.

A Flow watches product usage, exec engagement, and support sentiment. When the combination crosses the expansion threshold, raise a flag on the account, notify the owning AE with the usage summary, suggest a expansion motion based on which features are getting hot. The AE walks into the next review with the ask already framed.

Customer-success automations

From onboarding to renewal, with risk flagging in the middle.

CS-side automations keep the install base healthy. The patterns below handle the slow-moving work that CSMs would do manually otherwise: tracking usage trends, flagging risk, prepping QBRs, and queuing the renewal motion in time.

Onboarding checklist

Day 0 to Day 30 progression.

When a new customer lands, the Flow spawns the onboarding project, assigns the CSM, creates the kickoff invite, and queues the Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 30 check-ins. Each check-in is a task that only closes when the milestone is marked complete, which keeps onboarding from drifting.

Churn-risk escalation

Health drops, CSM gets a prepared conversation.

A Flow runs daily on account-health signals (ticket volume, product usage decline, exec engagement). Below threshold: AI drafts save-motion summary, assigns CSM, pings exec sponsor in Slack, opens a Projects issue to track. The exec call lands with the playbook already in motion rather than being the kickoff for the save.

QBR prep

Quarterly review brief, auto-assembled.

Seven days before a QBR, the Flow assembles the brief: usage summary, feature adoption, support metrics, open tickets, product roadmap items relevant to this account, open opportunities. CSM edits in 20 minutes instead of assembling from four tabs over two hours.

Renewal flag

Contracts never surprise your pipeline.

A nightly Flow looks 60 to 120 days ahead on contract-end dates. Creates a renewal opportunity, assigns the account owner, generates a task for the CSM to open the renewal motion. Teams that automate this do not have surprise churn; the renewal has a 90-day runway, not a 2-week scramble.

NPS routing

Detractors trigger a save-motion.

When an NPS response comes in with a detractor score, the Flow routes to the CSM, drafts a response acknowledging the feedback, creates a save task, and surfaces the account on the retention dashboard. The classic "we got the NPS, now what" gap closes with a motion.

Executive sponsor change

The person who signed left, raise a flag.

A Flow watches contact-exit signals (updated LinkedIn title, email bounce, out-of-office with "no longer at company"). When the signing exec on an account is detected as departed, raise a flag, assign a CSM task to re-identify the new sponsor, pause the auto-renewal to a human review path.

Rep-productivity automations

The small ones that save a half-hour per rep per day.

The rep-productivity catalog is where the small automations live. Each one on its own saves a few minutes; together they save a half-hour per rep per day, which is the compounding ROI that justifies the whole automation discipline.

Meeting prep brief

30 minutes before every meeting.

30 minutes before a scheduled meeting, Strkr AI composes a one-page brief: attendees, roles, recent engagement, deal context, last email thread, open questions, three suggested talking points. The rep opens it with the meeting link. No pre-call ritual to skip because of a packed calendar.

Meeting summary

Call ends, summary lands on the record.

When a scheduled meeting ends (based on calendar event completion plus a recording hook, when enabled), Strkr AI drafts the summary and writes it to the opportunity or contact. The rep edits in 2 minutes instead of writing from scratch; the record stays current without a nightly reconciliation effort.

Task from email

Follow-up commitments become tasks.

When an outbound email contains a commitment phrase ("I will send", "we will follow up", "I will circle back"), the Flow extracts the commitment and creates a task on the sender with the right due date. The classic "I committed in email and forgot" miss stops happening.

Calendar-change notice

Prospect reschedules, deal updates.

When a meeting on an open deal gets rescheduled, canceled, or no-showed, the Flow writes the signal to the deal activity feed. Manager scanning the pipeline sees "no-show on last touch" as a surface-level fact instead of a buried calendar event.

Quota nudges

Weekly rep pacing without opening a dashboard.

Monday 7 AM Flow computes each rep's progress against pro-rated quota pace. Reps behind pace get a personalized email with the gap number and the pipeline required to close it. Reps ahead of pace get a congrats and the stretch number. The dashboard-check ritual becomes an inbox read.

Daily focus

7 AM list of the three things to do.

A daily Flow at 7 AM composes a focus list per rep: the three deals most likely to move today, the two meetings prep-briefed, the one overdue task that is blocking everything. The rep opens the morning with a plan instead of a hundred open tabs.

Manager and leadership automations

The automations that make the Monday meeting useful.

Manager-side automations are about surfacing signal. The six below produce the data that makes the standup and the forecast call sharp instead of filled with pipeline review theater.

Monday digest

Pipeline rollup delivered to Slack at 8:30am.

An AI-drafted digest lands in the sales channel before Monday standup: deals that moved, deals that stalled, forecasts that changed, risks flagged for intervention, and expansion signals. The manager edits in 10 minutes, which keeps the Monday meeting focused on decisions instead of status.

Weekly forecast

CFO-facing snapshot every Friday at 4pm.

A scheduled Flow runs the weekly forecast snapshot: committed, best case, pipeline coverage ratio, forecast variance by manager, and the AI-drafted narrative. The output posts to the CFO Slack thread and emails as a PDF. The CFO walks into the Monday finance sync already read.

1:1 agenda

Rep-specific talking points, auto-assembled.

15 minutes before a scheduled 1:1, the Flow drafts the agenda: the rep's pipeline changes this week, the deals at risk, the quota pacing, the open coaching notes from last week. The manager opens the agenda instead of writing it from the dashboard.

Attrition signal

Pattern-match on departure risk.

A Flow watches rep-level signals (quota attainment trend, time-to-first-touch degradation, declining activity, Slack-presence patterns during business hours). When the combination crosses the risk threshold, flag to the manager with a one-on-one prompt. Not predictive; just a surface for a conversation.

Named-account dashboard

Top 20 accounts always current.

A Flow runs nightly on the top 20 named accounts, rolls up activity, open deals, support tickets, exec engagement, and recent product usage. The output lands as a dashboard the sales leader opens on Monday. Named-account motion stays reviewable in 10 minutes instead of 90.

Compensation report

End-of-period rep comp, pre-assembled.

At the end of each pay period, a Flow rolls up each rep's closed-won revenue, applies the comp plan rules, computes earned commissions, and writes to a comp report shared with finance. The pay-period reconciliation that took two days becomes a review-and-approve step.

How the catalog gets used

Enable, instrument, extend, prune.

The pattern teams follow to get the most out of the automations catalog. Each phase has a action, a measurable outcome, and a known failure mode.

Enable

Pick 8 to 12 templates in week one.

A new tenant should enable the templates that match the obvious patterns: inbound triage, stale-deal nudge, meeting prep brief, Monday digest, closed-won kickoff, renewal flag. Eight to twelve is the right number for week one. Fewer and the ROI story is weak; more and the operator cannot keep up with tuning.

Instrument

Watch metrics for two weeks before extending.

Each Flow carries per-block metrics. Watch which actions fire, which conditions evaluate true, which steps occasionally fail. Tune thresholds based on real data. The first-wave Flows get 20 to 30 percent more accurate inside two weeks of instrumentation.

Extend

Team-specific Flows after the first wave.

Once the common patterns are proven, extend with team-specific Flows: named-account escalation for enterprise sales, health-score drop for CSM, high-value content download for marketing. Each team owns its own Flows under its own owner.

Prune

Retire the Flows that do not fire.

Quarterly, open the Flows list sorted by run count. The ones firing fewer than 20 times per month are retirement candidates. Pruning keeps the catalog legible instead of accumulating 400 Flows nobody remembers configuring.

Audit the DLQ

The dead-letter queue is a goldmine.

Open the dead-letter queue monthly. The failed runs cluster around a few root causes: expired credentials, missing fields, downstream API outages. Fixing the root causes raises the overall success rate without any Flow changes.

Report the impact

Pull the automation metrics for the QBR.

Each quarter, pull the aggregate metrics: Flows active, runs executed, estimated hours saved, errors recovered, latency distribution. The report lands in the QBR deck as a concrete line instead of a vague "we automated things" claim.

The whole automations catalog ships on Pro.

40+ starter templates for lead routing, deal hygiene, meeting prep, forecasting, renewals, churn, handoffs, and comp. Enable in minutes, no per-run meter.

Common questions

What buyers ask about this feature.

What workflow automations ship out of the box?

Strkr ships 40+ starter Flows covering lead routing, deal hygiene, meeting prep, forecasting, renewals, churn escalation, closed-won handoffs, QBR prep, 1:1 agendas, Monday digests, and comp reporting. Each starter is a Flow template the RevOps lead copies into the tenant, re-wires to real fields, and publishes. The copy pattern means the starter is a scaffold, not a vendor-owned artifact that cannot be modified.

How many automations should a team enable in week one?

Eight to twelve. Fewer and the ROI story is weak at the first review; more and the operator cannot keep up with tuning. The right first wave is inbound triage, stale-deal nudge, meeting prep brief, Monday digest, closed-won kickoff, renewal flag, QBR prep, and churn escalation. The next wave extends with team-specific Flows in month two.

Can automations be team-specific?

Yes. Each Flow has an owner and permissions. The sales team owns its deal-side Flows; the CSM team owns its retention Flows; the marketing team owns its lead Flows. The admin layer stays sane because permissions are per-Flow and ownership is explicit. Team-specific extensions do not require admin intervention; the team's ops lead can own them.

Does enabling the full catalog change the bill?

No. The Flows runtime ships on Pro with no per-run meter. Enabling all 40+ starter templates does not change the per-seat price. A team running 5,000 Flow executions per day pays the same as a team running 50. The incentive is to automate aggressively, not to ration which Flows live and which get axed because the vendor meters runs.

How do we know an automation is working?

Each Flow carries per-block metrics: runs today, success rate, median latency, p95 latency. The audit log captures every run as a trace with the full payload, condition evaluation, actions executed, and outputs. The classic question "did the Flow fire for that lead on Tuesday" has an answer in two clicks. Teams that instrument in week two tune their Flows 20 to 30 percent more accurate inside the first month.

What happens when an automation fails?

Transient failures (rate limits, timeouts, 5xx) retry with exponential backoff. Hard failures (missing credentials, blocked content, schema violation) land in the dead-letter queue with the full trigger payload and the step that failed. Admins see the failure, fix the issue, and replay from the DLQ. Nothing fails silently; the DLQ allows manual replay once the issue is fixed.
