Put your busywork on autopilot
Workflows and Automations
Trigger actions automatically when leads change status — message, assign, schedule, or advance candidates without lifting a finger.
What you get
- Triggers on new leads, status changes, form submissions, and completed visits
- Auto-assign, auto-message, auto-advance, and notify the right coordinator
- Chain multiple steps into recruitment playbooks, with a run log for every fire
- Sensible defaults out of the box — randomization and screen-fail rules included
Why it matters
Codify your team's playbook. When a lead hits a stage, Trialflow can send a message, assign a coordinator, create a task, or move them forward — so your process runs the same way every time, even on your busiest weeks.

FAQ
Workflows and Automations questions, answered
What kinds of actions can a workflow take?+
When a trigger fires, a workflow can send an email or SMS, assign a coordinator, create a task, or advance the candidate to the next stage — the routine steps your team would otherwise do by hand.
What triggers a workflow?+
Workflows run off events in your pipeline: a lead is created, a status or stage changes, a qualification form is submitted, or a study visit is checked complete — so the moment a lead becomes “qualified,” or a randomization visit is marked done, the right follow-up happens automatically.
Do I have to build everything myself?+
No. Every organization starts with a set of default workflows for the rules most sites want anyway — moving a participant to randomized when their randomization visit completes, or reopening someone for recruitment after a screen failure — which you can edit, pause, or delete.
Can I chain multiple steps together?+
Yes. Combine several actions into a recruitment playbook — for example, assign a coordinator, send a welcome text, and create a follow-up task — so your process runs the same way every time.
Do I need technical skills to set workflows up?+
No. Workflows are built from simple trigger-and-action rules in the interface, so coordinators can codify the team’s playbook without writing code.
Can I see what a workflow did?+
Yes. Automated actions are recorded on the participant’s timeline and audit history, so you always know what fired, when, and why.
Will automations take control away from my coordinators?+
You decide where automation helps and where a human stays in the loop. Build manual checkpoints into a playbook so sensitive steps still require a coordinator to act.
Which plans include workflows and automations?+
Workflows and automations are included starting with the Growth plan.
