Auto Add-On: Campaigns and Nurture Without Zapier
What Auto is for
Auto is campaign and nurture automation on the revenue graph — triggers from pipeline stage, mail activity, and account fields without exporting lists to a separate MAP.
- Nurture sequences — timed mail on accounts with exit rules
- Campaign enrollment — segment-based programs with caps
- Re-engagement — stale opps and dormant contacts with RevOps approval
- Agent-readable — MCP summarizes who is in which program
Product page: Salestrics Auto. Add-on catalog: Flow, Ledger, Insight SQL guide and Changelog #17.
Auto vs Flow vs external Zapier
| Tool | Primary use | Typical owner |
|---|---|---|
| Auto | Campaigns, nurture, re-engagement | Marketing / RevOps |
| Flow | Approvals, routing, internal workflows | RevOps / ops |
| Zapier (external) | Legacy bridge during migration | Retire after cutover |
Auto on the graph beats Zapier when triggers need live mail and stage context — not CSV exports. See automation without Zapier.
Buy order (recommended)
- Mail on account — sequences send from org mail on the account
- Stage hygiene — triggers reference real pipeline motion
- One to two Auto seats — builder + backup, not full pod
- First campaign — single segment, measurable exit criteria
- Flow — when approvals gate discounts or legal review on campaign enrollments
Mail policy: mail on account. Outbound motion: outbound sequence playbook.
Seat map
| Role | Auto seat? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing ops | Yes | Builds and publishes campaigns |
| Demand gen | Yes | Owns nurture calendar |
| AE | Usually no | Consumes sequences; personal mail on account |
| RevOps | Optional | One seat if RevOps owns lifecycle |
| CS | Optional | Renewal nurture on Resolve accounts |
First campaigns to ship
- Inbound SLA nurture — form fill to meeting book; pairs with inbound SLA
- Post-demo follow-up — 3-touch sequence on opp stage Demo Held
- No-show recovery — trigger from Connect outcome — no-show playbook
- Renewal window — 90-day pre-expiry on active accounts
- Re-engagement — dormant contacts with single clear CTA
Start with one campaign, measure reply and meeting rates for 30 days before adding complexity.
Governance before scale
- Enrollment caps — max contacts per program per week
- Suppression lists — customers in active support cases excluded
- Human approval — first send on new templates; Flow can gate if needed
- Unsubscribe discipline — honor exits on graph; no shadow lists
- Token awareness — heavy AI-generated copy burns Assistant pools — token governance
When One beats Auto add-on math
Auto at $10/person × eight builders is $80/mo — fine standalone. Add Ledger, Flow, Insight SQL, dual Momentum and Resolve lines, and One Team at $499 often wins — One vs standalone.
Anti-patterns
- Auto on every AE — marketing builds; sales sends from mail
- Nurture before mail policy — sequences from personal inboxes
- Duplicate Zapier + Auto — same trigger in two systems
- No exit rules — contacts stuck in dead campaigns
- Whole-book blast — burns domain reputation and tokens
90-day Auto review
- Active campaigns — retire programs with <2% engagement
- Seat usage — who logged in to Auto last 30 days
- Deliverability — bounce and spam signals on org mail
- One math — rerun if add-ons and lines stacked
Worked example: inbound-to-meeting nurture
A mid-market team receives 40 inbound leads per week from the website:
- Trigger — form submit creates contact + opp in Momentum
- Auto enroll — 4-touch sequence over 10 days from org mail
- Exit rules — meeting booked, reply received, or manual disqualify
- SLA alert — no reply day 3 pings owner in Connect chat
- RevOps review — weekly conversion form → meeting rate
One marketing ops seat on Auto ($10/mo) builds; five AEs on Momentum Team consume. No Auto seat per AE required.
Integrations to retire after Auto
