Create a New Workflow
This guide walks you through building a workflow from scratch. By the end, you will have an automated sequence that fires whenever a specific call or SMS event occurs.
Before You Start
- You need a Pro plan or above.
- You need Admin or Manager permissions.
- Make sure the integration you plan to use (CRM, Slack, email) is already connected under Settings → Integrations.
Step 1: Open the Workflow Builder
- Go to Settings → Workflows in your JustCall dashboard.
- Click + Create Workflow in the top-right corner.
- Give your workflow a descriptive name, such as "Missed Call → Follow-Up SMS."
Step 2: Choose a Trigger
Select the event that starts the workflow:
- Call Completed — Fires after any call ends.
- SMS Received — Fires when an inbound text arrives.
- Missed Call — Fires when a call goes unanswered.
- Voicemail Received — Fires when a caller leaves a voicemail.
Click the trigger tile to select it. The builder will display the data fields available from that event.
Step 3: Set Conditions (Optional)
Conditions let you narrow when the workflow runs. Click + Add Condition and configure one or more filters:
- Phone number — Run only for a specific JustCall number.
- Agent or agent group — Limit to certain team members.
- Time window — Run only during or outside business hours.
- Disposition code — Match a specific call outcome.
- Tags — Run only when a contact has a certain tag.
Use AND to require all conditions, or OR to match any one of them.
Step 4: Define Actions
Click + Add Action and choose what should happen:
- Send SMS — Compose a text message to the caller. Use merge fields like
{{caller_name}}and{{agent_name}}. - Create Task — Generate a follow-up task assigned to the agent or a manager.
- Update CRM — Push call details, notes, or disposition to your connected CRM.
- Notify Agent — Send an in-app or email notification to the assigned agent.
You can add multiple actions. They execute in order from top to bottom.
Step 5: Test and Activate
- Click Test Workflow to simulate the trigger with sample data. Review the output in the execution log.
- Fix any errors the test surfaces (missing fields, authentication issues).
- Toggle the workflow to Active when you are satisfied.
Tips for Reliable Workflows
- Start with a single action, confirm it works, then add more.
- Use descriptive names so your team can audit workflows at a glance.
- Check execution logs weekly to catch silent failures.
- Duplicate an existing workflow instead of rebuilding when you need a variation.
Your workflow is now live. JustCall will execute it automatically every time the trigger conditions are met.
