CRM Automations

Trigger. Conditions.Actions. No Busywork.

When a lead comes in, a deal changes stage, or an appointment is an hour away, Pipe Crush automations create the task, reassign the owner, enroll the sequence, or send the reminder for you — tenant-scoped, retry-safe, and fully logged. Build one visually, start from a template, or just describe it to the dashboard assistant.

12 event triggers
8 action types
Dry-run preview
Trigger

A lead, deal, form, call, appointment, task, or SMS event happens.

Conditions

Match on any/all field comparisons before anything runs.

Actions

Up to 10 ordered actions run, each logged with its own result.

Eight Actions, Any Order

Chain them together on a single automation — create the task, reassign the owner, and enroll the sequence, all from one triggering event.

Create a task

Assign a follow-up task to the record owner, a specific teammate, or the next person in a round-robin rotation.

Reassign the owner

Hand a lead or deal to a new owner and email them the details automatically, with an optional handoff note.

Update fields

Change status, stage, score, or custom fields against a fixed whitelist per record type — never an arbitrary column write.

Create a record

Spin up a new lead, deal, task, customer, or contact from the event, with values pulled from the triggering record.

Enroll in a sequence

Add the lead to a cold email sequence, skipping anyone already enrolled, unsubscribed, or bounced.

Enroll in an email campaign

Drop the lead into an evergreen email marketing campaign, with an optional delay before the first send.

Send an SMS

Text the lead or appointment attendee a templated message, honoring opt-out status automatically.

Place a call

Call with a spoken script or hand the conversation to an AI voice assistant, respecting quiet hours by default.

Recipes to Start From

Every recipe below is a ready-made template in the builder — pick one, adjust it, and turn it on.

New form lead → task + sequence

The moment a form or landing page submits, create a high-priority follow-up task for the owner and enroll the lead in a nurture sequence.

Deal changes stage → reassign + email

When a deal moves into a chosen stage, hand it to the right rep on a round-robin rotation and email them the handoff.

Appointment in 60 minutes → reminder

An hour before a booked appointment, text or call the attendee with a reminder so fewer people no-show.

Built for Trust, Not Just Speed

Automations that touch money, reputation, and customer data need guardrails, not just triggers.

Tenant-scoped and audited

Every event and every run is scoped to your account and logged, so nothing crosses between customers and nothing runs unseen.

Retry-safe by default

A failed action retries automatically up to three times with backoff, and stays visible in run history instead of silently failing.

Built visually or by chat

Use the drag-free builder, start from a template, or describe the automation to the dashboard assistant and review the draft it proposes.

Dry-run before you commit

Preview how many records an automation would affect before switching it on, so spend-sensitive actions never surprise you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CRM automation?

A CRM automation is a trigger-conditions-actions rule: when something happens in your CRM, Pipe Crush checks your conditions and then runs one or more actions automatically, such as creating a task, reassigning the owner, or enrolling the lead in a sequence.

What triggers can start an automation?

Automations can fire on a new or updated lead, a new deal or a deal stage change, a form or landing page submission, an email reply, a completed inbound or outbound call, a booked or canceled appointment, a completed task, a received SMS, or a time-relative trigger for an upcoming appointment.

Can I build an automation by chatting with the assistant instead of the builder?

Yes. The dashboard assistant can create, list, inspect, and activate or pause automations from a plain-language request, such as "when a form lead comes in, create a follow-up task and enroll them in my nurture sequence." It always creates new automations as a draft so you can review and activate them yourself.

Do automations respect SMS opt-out and calling hours?

Yes. SMS actions honor opt-out status, and outbound calls default to a quiet-hours window you can configure per automation. Actions that spend money or reputation only run once an automation is set to active.

Can I preview what an automation will do before turning it on?

Yes. A dry-run preview shows the number of records that would be affected and the actions that would run, so you can verify the logic before activating. Every run is logged with a per-action result and retried automatically on failure.

Stop Doing By Hand What Should Trigger Itself

Start from a recipe, build from scratch, or ask the dashboard assistant to draft one for you.
