Workflow Automation
Workflow Automation lets you build rules that run automatically when something happens in a shipment, without manual follow-up. Each workflow combines a trigger, optional filters, and one or more actions.
How it works
Every workflow is built from three parts:
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The event that starts the workflow — e.g. a shipment is created, a status changes, or a carrier is added. |
| Filters | Conditions that must be true for the workflow to continue — e.g. shipment type is Truckload, or customer is Acme Corp. |
| Action | What happens when conditions are met — e.g. send an email, add an alert, update the shipment status, or resolve all assignments. |
Where to find it
Navigate to the LSP tab and locate the Workflow Automation section. The main screen lists your existing workflows and includes an option to create a new one. Click the blue pencil or information icon on the right of any workflow to view, edit, duplicate, or delete it.
Note: All newly created workflows start in Inactive status. You must add at least one action before you can activate a workflow.
