Introduction:


This is an example template of how you can use automations to streamline your Customer Onboarding processes.

Automations allow you to build custom workflows by passing data and triggering actions to and from other apps, making work faster and more consistent.

We designed this template to facilitate the complete onboarding process using automations to reduce the workload for you, your team, and your client.

Each automation has its own set of actions and triggers, which you can learn about in these help articles:

Important: You’ll need to ensure you have an account set up with these tools to enable automations.

Let’s get started!

Automations setup:

Say that your Sales Team just closed a new opportunity in Salesforce. Using automations you can set that action to trigger this customer onboarding workflow within Process Street. By enabling this automation the workflow will come equipped with all of the customer’s details automatically pushed through. 

The screenshot below provides an example of what the workflow would look like with automations set up.

  1. Once in Automations select “Run a checklist when” + ” a record is updated” and select Salesforce.

  2. Select the record and follow the additional steps in the automations wizard.

  3. Then turn the switch to “on” to activate the automation.

Generate record of opportunity in Google Sheets:

Before you get started you’ll need to have a few things set up in Google Sheets:

  1. Create a new spreadsheet in Google Sheets
  2. Give your spreadsheet a name and add column headers for the data you would like to capture
  3. Optional: You can add more sheets to the same spreadsheet as required. Give your sheets names to help identify them when creating your automation

Your Google Sheet must be located in “My Drive” for your automation to work, i.e you must be the owner of the sheet to create an automation with it.


You’ll then need to authenticate your Google Sheets account, choose the sheet, and map the fields from your workflow that you would like to pull into your Google Sheet.

For more information on Google Sheet automations, check out our help page. 

Record opportunity in Google Sheets

Copy-paste the opportunity name into the field below.

Then complete this task to add the details to the Opportunity tracking Google Sheet.
