How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Lesson Marked Completetrigger

The automation is triggered when a lesson is marked as complete or the CRM. Student details and lesson information are automatically captured.

2. Fetch Student Details

The automation retrieves the student's email, phone, lesson type, and instructor name. This data is used to personalise the outgoing requests.

3. Generate Review Request

The automation composes a personalised review request email based on the lesson type and student name. The message includes direct links to Google Reviews and the school's website.

4. Send Review Request

The personalised review request is sent to the student's email address from the school's account. A copy is logged for tracking.

5. Generate Referral Request

The automation composes a personalised referral request message asking if the student knows anyone who might benefit from lessons. The tone is warm and non-pushy.

6. Send Referral Request

The referral request is sent to the student's email address. The send is logged and a notification alerts the team that a request has been sent.

7. Log Request

Both the review and referral requests are recorded in the student's contact record with timestamps, message content, and status. This creates a complete audit trail.
