Automation examples

Each example below covers a tested Tallyfy automation pattern with setup instructions. Pick one, follow the steps, and you’re done.

Assignment

Assign to process requestor Routes tasks back to whoever launched the process. No manual tracking.

Dynamic member assignment from kick-off forms The process launcher picks team members via dropdown fields. Useful when different projects need different people.

Service level-based task assignment Routes tasks by customer tier (Basic, Premium, Enterprise) so higher-tier customers automatically get the right support teams.

Workflow control

Exclusive choice (pick one path) The process follows one branch - never both. Office staff get IT setup; field workers get equipment training. Same template, different paths.

Synchronization (wait for multiple approvals) Every required sign-off must complete before the next step unlocks.

Multi-level approval loops A rejection sends the request back for fixes, then the approval chain restarts automatically.

Time-based

Countdown deadline automation Counts backwards from a target date - agendas go out Monday, room bookings due Friday.

Combined visibility and deadline rules Shows international shipping tasks only when needed AND sets their deadlines from arrival dates. Two automations working together.

Templates > Automations

Tallyfy automations use IF-THEN rules to route tasks, adjust deadlines, show or hide steps, and trigger webhooks based on form responses and task events.

Automations > Actions

Automation actions in Tallyfy are the “THEN” part of IF-THEN rules - they automatically assign tasks, adjust deadlines, change status, control step visibility, or trigger webhooks when conditions are met.

Tutorials > Create an automation

Tallyfy automation rules use IF-THEN conditional logic to intelligently adapt workflows based on user inputs task completions and other triggers eliminating manual adjustments while automatically showing relevant steps assigning tasks and responding to changing circumstances throughout your processes.
