How does a template link itself?

Corteksa searches the names of your units and fields, in Arabic and English: “محتمل” or lead, “صفقة” or deal, and “عقد” or contract. The line is your most recently connected WhatsApp line, the template is a message template whose name resembles the purpose, and the approver is you.

If it can’t find something required, such as the unit or the field the trigger reads, the template isn’t created and asks you to choose.

If it can’t find something optional, such as a line, a mailbox or a team, the automation is created with that step turned off. Finish it and turn it on later. See Turn off one step without deleting it.

What you’ll need also shows how many records have no mobile number or email, so you know who the automation will skip.

Each template shows how many times it has been used in your workspace.

The texts and names are in your language, Arabic or English.

A real example

Namaa Academy
The situation

No experience building automations.

What they did
  1. The template “Welcome every new lead on WhatsApp”.
  2. What you’ll need: the approved template was missing, so the sending step was turned off.
  3. After their welcome template was approved, they chose it and turned the step on.
The result

A welcome automation running within 10 minutes.

A made-up company, to show the idea. The numbers are rounded.

Good to know

Automations created from templates count toward the limit of 500 automations.
