Drag-and-Drop Workflow Builder
SureTriggers’ drag-and-drop workflow builder provides a user-friendly interface for creating automation workflows without any coding. You begin by defining a trigger event, such as publishing a blog post, a user subscribing to your newsletter, or a payment completed.
Next, add actions – tasks automatically executed when the trigger occurs. These can range from sending emails to posting on social media or running backups. You can add, reorder, and configure these actions using the drag-and-drop interface.
The Filter App
The workflow builder, a key feature of SureTriggers, incorporates the use of the Filter app to enable conditional logic. This means you can design actions to take place only when certain conditions are fulfilled, allowing you to customize automations based on specific user behaviors and thereby enhancing efficiency.
Suppose you’re using SureTriggers to automate your customer support system. You receive a variety of queries, but you want to prioritize those related to billing issues as they directly impact your revenue. In this case, you can use the Filter app to set up a workflow that flags and escalates any support tickets with the word “billing” in the subject or body to your billing department.
Furthermore, you can set up multiple criteria using the Filter app. For instance, you might want to escalate tickets that mention “billing” and are from customers who have a premium subscription. This way, you can ensure that high-priority issues from your most valuable customers are addressed promptly.
Comprehensive Library of Ready-Made Templates
To kickstart your automation journey, SureTriggers offers a library of ready-made templates tailored for common-use scenarios. These templates range from email marketing to social sharing, lead generation, and much more, allowing you to set up automation in a matter of clicks.
These templates make implementing workflows with your favorite plugin a breeze.
Webhooks
SureTriggers webhook captures incoming responses in a blink of an eye. It improves the speed of the automation. For example, if you’re sending confirmation SMS via BulkSMS to users after getting a response from any third-party app via Webhook, they’ll get the message instantly. No latency! The same goes for the outgoing webhooks. Outgoing webhooks send the data received from previous steps in no time.
Automation between multiple WordPress sites
Picture this: You run a WordPress site with a WooCommerce storefront, selling exclusive art supplies. Concurrently, you operate a separate membership site on WordPress where members have access to exclusive art lessons.
Wouldn’t it be brilliant if when someone buys a premium set of paints on your WooCommerce store, they’re automatically granted access to a relevant art course on your membership site?
Well, hold onto your hats, because SureTriggers makes this smart, cross-site interaction incredibly straightforward! Seamlessly bridge your WooCommerce and membership sites, offering your customers a combined experience of shopping and learning.
Boost your customer’s journey across your WordPress platforms effortlessly with SureTriggers – it’s e-commerce and membership integration like you’ve never seen before!
How SureTriggers Enhances the WordPress Experience
One of the standout features of SureTriggers is the Schedule app, which enables you to set up automated workflows on a schedule. This is particularly useful for performing scheduled repetitive tasks such as sending out emails, generating reports, or updating databases.
Automated Workflow Execution
With the Schedule app, you can set up workflows to run automatically at specific times or intervals. This feature can be used to automatically create Zoom meetings, send Slack messages to the team for daily or weekly meetings, or even publish social media posts at specific times throughout the day or week.
Dynamic Task Scheduling
The Schedule app allows you to set up various types of schedules, including one-time, daily, selected days of the week, selected dates of the month, and regular intervals. This flexibility ensures that tasks are performed exactly when needed, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
Automated Customer Engagement
Use the Schedule app to send monthly feedback surveys to customers via email, or to create tasks in your project management tools at fixed intervals. This helps keep your customers engaged and informed, boosting customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Scheduled Social Media Posting
The Schedule app can be used to automate the publishing of social media posts at specific times throughout the day or week. This ensures your social media presence remains consistent and engaging, even when you’re busy with other tasks.
Automated Reminders and Notifications
With the Schedule app, you can set up reminders and notifications for tasks such as project deadlines or task due dates. This ensures that important tasks are never overlooked, boosting productivity and efficiency.
With SureTriggers, you’re not just automating tasks; you’re orchestrating a symphony of business operations that work together to drive growth, improve user experience, and save valuable time. All while you get to focus on what truly matters – your creative work and the strategic decisions that move your business forward.

Below are three scenarios in which SureTriggers elevated productivity, creativity, and efficiency for these stakeholders:
Content Curation
A digital marketing agency used SureTriggers to automate finding and sharing content for their clients.

SureTriggers then automatically shared the top articles on social media, saving the agency time and ensuring a steady stream of high-quality content for their clients.
Project Management
A web design firm leveraged SureTriggers to simplify its project management processes. They connected SureTriggers to their project management software, Asana, and set up automations to automatically move tasks to the next stage when they were completed. For example, when a designer marked a design task as complete in Asana, SureTriggers automatically moved it to the development queue. This reduced time spent on administrative work and ensured projects moved smoothly from design to development.
Lead Generation
A B2B consulting company used SureTriggers to boost its lead generation efforts. They connected SureTriggers to their email marketing service, Drip, and their CRM, Salesforce. SureTriggers monitored their email lists for new subscribers and automatically added their contact information to Salesforce, creating a new lead.
