WHAT IS PROCESS AUTOMATION?


PROCESS AUTOMATION…

• Enables you to easily engage users without having to repeatedly complete time-consuming processes

• Allows you to create a member journey through the use of customized alerts

• Sends communications to members after completing an action on your website like registering for an event or donating

• And so much more!!


OUT OF THE BOX ALERTS

• iMIS comes with over 40 alerts

• These alerts are already configured for you and can be used throughout the staff site or your RiSE member site


STAFF DASHBOARDS

• On each dashboard, there is an alert set with alerts related to that specific module


MEMBER’S ACCOUNT PAGE

• Place alerts on a member’s profile page to keep them informed about upcoming events or remind them to fill out certain information.


WHAT CAN I DO WITH OOTB ALERTS?

• Add, delete, or edit Data Sources & Conditions

• Add or delete data sources

• Delete alerts from an alert set


WHY PROCESS AUTOMATION PLUS?

• Add new alerts

• Modify the name, description & type

• Modify the alert message


COMPONENTS OF AN ALERT

• Conditions

– IQA that determines which records qualify for an alert



• Alert

– The actual text, images, links, and buttons that encompass the alert. When the condition returns records, the task generates the alert.

– You can create a personalized alert if placing an alert on an individual’s record.



You can edit or delete data sources in an alert. Display fields from provided data sources can be inserted into the alert.


HOW DO I DISPLAY MY ALERTS?

• Alert sets are groups of alert tasks that you want to display as a group to users. For example, you may want to create separate alert sets for staff alerts and member alerts.


ALERT SETS

• The alert set determines the order that the alerts display on the web page, so you should confirm that your alert tasks are in the correct order within the set.


ADD THE ALERT SET TO A PAGE

Choose the page you wish to add the alerts to, then Add Content > Utility > Alert Display

Highlight the Alert Set you would like to add then select the arrow.


CREATING AN ALERT

• Start with the IQA

• We will create an alert that will display on an individual’s record if they have no address on file

Since we are putting this alert on an individual’s profile, we must include the filter

Contact Key = “@SelectedUser”


CREATING AN ALERT

• Go to RiSE > Process Automation then “Add new task”

• Give your alert a name and a description.

• From the “Type” dropdown, select Alert display.


CREATING AN ALERT

• Adding Conditions

– A condition is a data source, but a data source does not have to be a condition

– Give the Data Source a name

– Select the IQA that you just created


CREATING AN ALERT

• Add a data source to your alert if you want to create a customized message using one of the display fields in an IQA.

• Add the alert to the alert set you want it displayed on.

If you add an alert to a person’s

profile page on your website, you

can create another personalized

message that only they will see.


YOUR NEW ALERT


PERSONALIZE YOUR ALERT

• Add in our data source for the alert, NoAddress

• Let’s also place it on the alert set for member’s profile on the website

• Create a personalized message using the Insert data source field


INDIVIDUAL’S WEBSITE PROFILE


CUSTOMIZING ALERTS

• As members complete steps, like adding their address, you can create another alert that will display about adding a photo or updating their demographic information.

• Create an alert for upcoming events especially for those who registered last year but haven’t registered for this year’s event.

• Engage with your members where they will see the information.

• You can put alerts on any page to remind your members to complete a certain task or register for an event.


SCHEDULED TASKS

• Out of the box tasks include:

– Event Confirmation Email

– Donation Thank You Email

– New Member Welcome Email

– Calculate Engagement Scores

• These tasks do not come enabled, so you must enable them yourself.

PARTS OF A SCHEDULED TASK

• Triggers determine when and how frequently the scheduled task is run. You can schedule one time, daily, weekly, and monthly communications. You can also schedule triggers on a database change in different tables.



• A task will run if the conditions returns results.



• A data source is any additional information you want to use in your task. You cannot delete a data source if the data source is selected within a Condition or Action; however, not every data source you have defined must be used when creating a Condition or Action.



• The Actions tell the task what to do when it runs. When the Triggers occur and the Conditions are met, the task executes the Actions.
