Enhancing Workflows with Custom Value Updates

Enhancing Workflows with Custom Value Updates!

October 14, 20243 min read

Gold Star Pro has introduced an exciting new feature for workflows—math operations on custom values. This update makes it easier to automate processes that require dynamic value changes, such as countdowns, ticket availability, and more. Here's a breakdown of how it works and the practical applications.

Phase One Recap: Basic Math Operations

Initially, Gold Star Pro introduced support for performing math operations using custom values and values triggered from workflow events. This enhancement allowed users to select values and perform basic calculations within workflows, making automation smoother and more flexible.

Phase Two: Updating Custom Values with Math Operations

In the latest phase, the most requested feature has been added: users can now not only perform math operations but also update custom values directly within workflows. This new capability allows for more complex and dynamic updates based on triggers.

Updating Custom Values with Math Operations

Key New Features:

  • Apply math operations directly to custom values.

  • Update custom values after performing a calculation.

  • Use the updated values in other workflow actions.

Practical Use Cases for Math Operations

The addition of math functions on custom values opens the door to a variety of automation possibilities. Here are some examples of how you can take advantage of this feature:

1. Countdown for Limited Offers

You can now automatically update a custom value to reflect the remaining quantity of a limited offer. For example, if you're running a promotion with only 30 tickets available, you can create a workflow that deducts the number of tickets sold from the total count. This way, you can display a real-time countdown like "28 tickets remaining."

2. Waitlist Management

Managing a waitlist becomes more efficient with automatic updates. Set up a custom value to track the number of available spots. As spots fill up, the custom value adjusts accordingly, letting you manage registrations without manual intervention.

3. Opportunity Value Updates

Automatically update opportunity values based on specific calculations, such as realtor commissions or adjustments based on percentage growth. This helps automate sales tracking and commission calculations, reducing manual errors.

4. Progress Tracking in Sales Funnels or Projects

With math operations, you can set up a progress bar that updates automatically based on custom values. Whether you're tracking a project’s milestones or monitoring a sales funnel, this feature allows for dynamic updates to reflect current progress.

How to Get Started with Math Operations

To start using this feature in your workflows:

  1. Select a Custom Value – In the workflow settings, choose a custom value where you'd like to apply the math operation.

  2. Choose Your Operation – Add, subtract, multiply, or divide the value based on your needs.

  3. Update and Use – The custom value can then be updated and reused in subsequent workflow steps.

This enhancement allows for more precise automation and offers endless possibilities for streamlining processes.

Conclusion

The new ability to perform and update custom values with math operations in Gold Star Pro workflows is a game-changer. It simplifies many tasks like managing ticket sales, updating progress bars, and more, making your workflows even more efficient. Take advantage of this powerful feature to automate key processes and save time!
