Set up Fyxer Flows
Automate recurring email and meeting tasks, from a follow-up email to your daily digest.
Flows let you set up a task once and have Fyxer run it automatically, so you're not repeating the same steps every day or every meeting. Each Flow runs on a trigger you choose and delivers its output to the channel you pick.
You might not see this feature yet. We're rolling out Flows gradually as we test and refine it, so availability will vary. We'll keep this article updated as things evolve.
How Flows work
Every Flow has three parts: a trigger that starts it, an action that runs the instructions, and a delivery channel that receives the output.
Trigger
Scheduled: runs at a set time, for example every morning at 7am or every Friday afternoon
Event: runs automatically, for example, when an email receives a Fyxer label or a meeting happens
Action
Fyxer runs the instructions set for that Flow, whether that's a preset or one you've customized.
Delivery channels
Slack DM or channel
Email, sent to your inbox
Microsoft Teams channel
In-app notification
Available Flows
Some of the Flows you can enable and configure include:
Action-item roundup
Commitments-first summary
Morning briefing
End-of-day wrap-up
CRM-less deal tracker
Setting up a Flow
There are a few ways to get a Flow running:
Activate a Flow from the list
Open your Dashboard and go to Flows
Click on the Flow you want
Select Activate Flow
To turn it off later, select Pause Flow. To delete it completely, select Delete.
Customize a Flow
If a preset Flow is close, but not quite right, you don't need to start from scratch – just customize it. You’ll need to select Activate Flow first, then open it.
On the right side, you'll find the editing section, broken into Trigger, Action, and Delivery. Set the trigger's schedule, edit the plain-English instructions the Flow will run, and choose where results get delivered (email, Slack, or another channel).
If a field in a preset Flow isn’t editable, you’ll see a small padlock by it.
Once you have made your changes, select Save, or the X in the top right corner to leave without saving.
Create one from scratch
If none of the presets fit what you need, select the Create Flow button and describe what you want. Fyxer sets the title, trigger, and instructions for you.
Flows in action
Scenario: you want to start each day knowing what's outstanding, without opening five different tabs.
The morning briefing Flow runs on a schedule you set, for example 7am, and delivers a summary of what needs your attention straight to your inbox. Reply to the morning briefing email to chat with the Fyxer agent.
Scenario: you're tracking deals without a CRM.
The CRM-less deal tracker Flow keeps a running view of where things stand with each contact, based on your email activity, so you're not relying on memory or a spreadsheet to know what's moved and what hasn't.
