Workflow Builder

Trigger → Condition → Action. That's the whole model.

Turn the repetitive steps your team handles every day into workflows that run automatically. Every workflow follows the same model: something happens (trigger), you check a condition, then you take an action. Stack them to build workflows as simple or complex as your operation requires.

  • Triggers: start workflows from messages, conversation events, web activity, tags, customer source or time-based conditions
  • Conditions: branch by channel, keywords, intent, tags, customer attributes or AND/OR logic
  • Actions: reply, assign, tag, update contact fields, delay, hand off or trigger an AI Agent
  • External requests: send customer or conversation data to connected business systems
  • No code required — build and test visually

Automation vs AI Agents

Predictable rules or open-ended conversations?

Automation and AI Agents solve different problems. Use this to decide which one — or which combination — your workflow needs.

Automation — predictable rules. When something specific happens, take a specific action. Best for routing, tagging, assignment, notifications and any workflow where the logic is already known and consistent.

AI Agents — open-ended conversations. When a customer writes in free text and the intent is unknown. Best for answering questions, qualifying leads, collecting context and deciding whether to handle or escalate.

They work together: automation routes and tags, AI Agents respond and qualify, automation hands off to humans.

Learn about AI Agents

Routing & assignment

Every conversation finds the right owner — automatically.

Build routing rules that assign conversations to AI Agents, specific teammates or teams based on channel, keywords, tags or customer attributes. Change ownership as the conversation evolves.

  • Route by channel, keywords, tags or customer attributes
  • Assign to AI Agent, teammate or team
  • Transfer ownership at any stage of the conversation
  • Notify specific teammates or teams when conditions are met

Use cases

Where teams use Mixdesk Automation

Lead routing. Route inbound conversations to the right team based on channel, keywords and customer attributes — before anyone has to read a single message.

Off-hours handling. When no agents are online, trigger an AI Agent to handle the conversation — then tag and route it for follow-up when the team is back.

Escalation workflows. When an AI Agent tags a conversation as high-value or unresolved, automation escalates it to the right human with full context already attached.

FAQ

Common questions about Mixdesk Automation

What teams ask before they hand the routine over to a workflow.

Before you build

Do I need to write code to build workflows?
No. The Workflow Builder is a visual interface — you pick triggers, conditions and actions and connect them. No code is required to build, test or update a workflow.
What's the difference between Automation and AI Agents?
Automation handles predictable, rule-based logic: when something specific happens, take a specific action. AI Agents handle open-ended customer conversations where the intent is not known in advance. They work together: automation routes and tags, AI Agents respond and qualify, automation hands off to humans. Explore AI Agents.
Can I route conversations from different channels with the same workflow?
Yes. A single workflow can apply to conversations from any connected channel — or you can filter by channel using a condition so that specific routing only applies to, say, WhatsApp or Instagram. See the omnichannel inbox.
Can automation trigger an AI Agent?
Yes. Assigning a conversation to an AI Agent is an action available in the Workflow Builder. Automation can trigger AI Agent handling when certain conditions are met — for example, outside of business hours or when a conversation matches a specific topic.
Can workflows send messages to customers?
Yes. Sending a message is an action in the Workflow Builder. You can configure the message content and add a delay — for example, a follow-up message two minutes after assignment. Channel-specific messaging policies may apply, including WhatsApp template requirements.

Build the workflow your team should have had from day one.

Your first workflow is minutes away — no code, no seat charges, no waiting on an engineering sprint.
