Actions are the tasks that Qualified performs when a workflow is triggered. These actions can modify data, integrate with external systems, or notify your team. Available actions are grouped into three main categories: General, Integrations, and Notifications.

Note: Not all actions are compatible with every trigger or trigger timing (immediate vs. after conversation ends). For the timing each trigger supports, see Triggers in workflows.

General actions

Set a value on a visitor field

Not compatible with Email triggers

Assign a specific value to a Qualified visitor field. Use prefill variables, picklist options, or preset values depending on the field type.

Track event

Not compatible with “after conversation ends” triggers or Email triggers

Send an event to Google Analytics and any website conversation event listeners.

Branch

Add conditions so the actions below the branch run only when they’re met, for example only for visitors with a matched Salesforce record.

Jump to a step

Not compatible with Email triggers

Move to another step in the workflow. This is useful in complex workflows. Check that a jump can’t lead back to itself, which would create an infinite loop.

Integrations

Integrate seamlessly with external platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot to sync key visitor and conversation data.

Push to an external system

Not compatible with Email triggers

Create or update records in Salesforce or a Marketing Automation Platform (MAP). Select the following options when choosing this action:

  • Destination: The system to push data into (Salesforce or a MAP).
  • Create Lead: If toggled on, a new lead will be created if one does not exist with a matching email in the destination. If toggled off, no new leads will be created from this action.
  • Update existing record: If toggled on, mapped fields on existing records will be updated. If toggled off, only new leads will be created; existing records will not be updated.

Add to a Salesforce campaign

Compatible with all triggers

Add a visitor record to a Salesforce campaign. Select the campaign to add the visitor to, and any additional fields (for example, Campaign Member Status) that should be updated, along with their values. As a best practice, use it after a “Push to an external system” action to ensure that a lead record has been created and is up-to-date before adding it to a campaign.

Pro Tip: You can also use this action to update an existing campaign member’s status. Re-adding someone to a campaign they’re already in updates their status without creating a duplicate.

Create a Salesforce Task

Compatible with all triggers

Generate a Salesforce task associated to Leads or Contacts affected by the workflow. Choose the task fields and their values to set using static text or dynamic visitor field values.

Create a Salesforce Event

Compatible with all triggers

Log a Salesforce event with customized data.

Qualified sends several Salesforce events by default, and these don’t need to be configured as workflows. See Salesforce tasks, events and playback URLs.

Create a HubSpot timeline event

Compatible with all triggers, with additional options for conversation triggers

Record conversation details as a timeline event in HubSpot. Configure the Header and Details of the event, and, if the trigger is a conversation trigger, choose whether to include the chat transcript as part of the timeline events.

Create a HubSpot meeting activity

Compatible with the Meeting booked trigger only

Log Qualified-booked meetings in HubSpot. Set a title and description in the workflow; the meeting activity will automatically include the date, time, and participants.

Update a Salesforce field

Available with Email triggers

Set a value on a field of the person’s Salesforce record. Choose the field and the value to set.

Update a HubSpot field

Available with Email triggers

Set a value on a field of the person’s HubSpot record. Choose the field and the value to set.

Update a Marketo field

Available with Email triggers

Set a value on a field of the person’s Marketo record. Choose the field and the value to set.

Add to a Marketo program

Available with Email triggers

Add the person to a Marketo program.

Update an Eloqua field

Available with Email triggers

Set a value on a field of the person’s Eloqua record. Choose the field and the value to set.

When a workflow creates the lead in your marketing automation platform and a task, event or campaign membership in Salesforce, Qualified checks Salesforce for the lead periodically. Once the lead created by your MAP appears, Qualified adds the task, event or campaign membership to that record.

Notifications

Keep your team informed of key visitor or workflow events.

Send a Slack alert

Compatible with all triggers

Notify specific Slack users or channels. Customize the subject and (optionally) body of the message. If the body is left blank, by default it will contain all known visitor details.

Send a Microsoft Teams alert

Compatible with all triggers

Send a message to a team. Customize the subject and (optionally) body of the message. If the body is left blank, by default it will contain all known visitor details.

Send an email

Compatible with all triggers

Email specified recipients or Salesforce users. Recipient selections will vary based on trigger, but can include static emails, meeting attendees, and more. Customize the subject and body of the email. If the checkbox is selected, all visitor fields will be included in the body of the email.

Send an app alert

Send an alert to Qualified users in-platform. This will appear as a toast message to recipients who are logged in to Qualified, subject to their notifications settings.

Important: Ensure your Salesforce, MAP, Slack, or Teams integrations are connected before using related actions.
