How to Set Up Other Trigger Automations for Agents in REsimpli

Written by Anthony Estrada

Overview

Other Triggers covers changes to an agent's own details and activity — the areas they cover, tags applied to them, and appointments being booked with them.

Set a condition, and REsimpli acts as soon as an agent matches it.

Steps

Part 1: Build the Automation

Step 1: Open your agent triggers

  1. Go to Automations.

  2. Click Agents.

  3. Select Other Triggers.

  4. Click Add Automation and give it a name.


Step 2: Choose the condition

Select what should trigger the automation:

  • A tag being added

  • Target county

  • Target city

  • Target state

  • Target zip

  • Agent with permission

  • A new appointment for the agent

Click Save.


Step 3: Set your timing

Choose your delay preference and default time zone.


Step 4: Add your steps

You can:

  • Notify team members — useful the moment an appointment is booked with an agent

  • Add a tag

  • Add a note

  • Send an SMS

  • Send an email

  • Add a folder

  • Move the agent to a different call flow


Step 5: Change the agent's status

You can also move the agent to another status — Qualified, for example.

When you do, choose what happens to the pending tasks from their old status.


Step 6: Save

Click Save.


Part 2: Test It

Step 7: Check the agent first

Open an agent and check their automations. There should be none running.


Step 8: Add an appointment

  1. Add the appointment setter, which is recorded for tracking.

  2. Select the appointment type, such as a phone appointment.

  3. Select the assignee.

  4. Add the date and time.

  5. Set up a reminder for the agent and for the assignee.

  6. Click Add Appointment.

Your automation will trigger.


Step 9: Confirm it ran

Check the agent's automations again. Yours will be listed as triggered.


Part 3: Track It

Step 10: Check enrollment

  1. Go to Automations, Agents, then Other Triggers.

  2. You will see how many agents are currently enrolled.

  3. Open Automation Enrollment to see them.

Click any agent for their actions, each step's status, and when the remaining steps are scheduled.


Important Notes

  • Target county, city, state, and zip are agent criteria, so this automation can react to the areas an agent covers rather than to something you did.

  • A new appointment is a trigger, which makes this a natural way to alert your team the moment a meeting is booked.

  • The appointment setter is recorded for tracking, separately from the assignee.

  • Changing a status lets you decide what happens to old pending tasks — complete them, or leave them open.

  • Moving an agent to a different call flow changes how their inbound calls are routed.


Troubleshooting

Your automation did not trigger

  • Check the condition matches the change you made. An appointment trigger will not fire when a tag is added.

Your team was not told about a new appointment

  • Check the notification step and who it targets.

Old tasks are still open after a status change

  • The status change step decides this. Set it to complete pending tasks from the old status.

You want to see which agents are enrolled

  • Open Automations, Agents, Other Triggers, then Automation Enrollment.

You are not sure when a step will run

  • Click the agent in the enrollment list to see each step's status and scheduled time.


Summary

You built an automation on an agent change. You opened Automations, Agents, and Other Triggers, and set a condition such as a new appointment being booked. You added team notifications, tags, notes, messaging, and a status change with a decision on old pending tasks. You then tested it by booking an appointment with an agent and tracked the result through Automation Enrollment.
