How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Order Receivedtrigger

A new order arrives via email, web form, or API integration. The automation platform detects the incoming order and extracts key fields such as customer name, address, SKU codes, and quantities.

2. Validate and Enrich Order Data

The automation parses the order details, matches SKU codes against a reference list, and flags any missing or ambiguous information. the automation cross-references the customer record to confirm billing and shipping addresses.

3. Check Inventory

The automation queries to retrieve real-time stock levels for each SKU. If all items are in stock, the order proceeds. If any item is out of stock, the automation flags it for manual review.

4. Generate Picking List

For confirmed orders, the automation creates a picking list, organized by warehouse bin location and sorted for efficient picking.

5. Notify Warehouse

The automation sends a message to the warehouse channel with the picking list link and order summary, triggering immediate picking and packing.

6. Send Confirmation to Customer

The automation sends a templated confirmation email to the customer with order number, expected delivery date, and tracking details.

7. Log Order

The automation creates or updates a deal record with the order details, linking it to the customer account for CRM visibility and future reference.
