What is partner workflow automation?

Partner workflow automation runs the rules of your partner program without a person enforcing each one. A workflow watches for something happening to a partner, checks whether it applies, waits if it should, and acts. In Introw you build workflows on a no-code canvas, and they read and write your HubSpot or Salesforce data.

The problem

Every rule you enforce by hand caps how many partners you can run

The long tail of the program is where the rules slip, and where the next wave of partner revenue sits.

Without Introw

Every program rule is enforced by hand
More partners means more partner managers
Chasing is a calendar of reminders
Rewarding a partner is a ticket to finance
Automation means a paid project

With Introw

Define it once, it runs for every partner
More partners means more runs, not more people
Nudges anchored to the task's due date
The bonus is booked the moment it is earned
A canvas, a test run and a switch
How it works

Any program rule. Every partner, every time.

One trigger, then a chain of steps, drawn on a canvas and tested on a real partner before it goes live.

Start from a program rule

Start from the rules your program already runs.

Most partner automation runs before you build a single workflow: partners arrive from your CRM filters, segments update themselves and notifications go out on their own. For the rules only your program has, start from a template and change it the same day.

Templates for onboarding every new partner, chasing a task, re-engaging quiet partners, tiering up on certification, rewarding a finished journey and reacting to a CRM change.

Each template is a docs guide you can copy step by step.

Tiers and partner properties already sync both ways with HubSpot or Salesforce.

Your rules, set once

Write the rule once. Every new partner gets the same start.

Every trigger is an event a feature you already use sends, so a workflow needs no code. The rules you run in your head become something Introw watches for, for every partner at once.

Thirteen triggers across tasks, journeys, courses, certificates, partners, contacts, CRM records and segments.

Narrow any trigger to the partners you mean, such as partner type is Reseller.

"Has not traded in 30 days" becomes a trigger through a dynamic segment the partner enters.

Personal at scale

Every email and Slack message reads like you wrote it.

The hundredth partner should get the same welcome as the first. Emails and chat messages fill in the partner's name, their partner manager and CRM values when the step runs, so a message sent to every partner still reads like it was written for one.

Email the partner's contacts or your own team, with your own template and an AI draft to start from.

Post in the partner's Slack or Teams channel.

Log a note on the CRM record, so sales sees what happened.

Your program rules

Reward the partners who deliver. Chase the ones who don't.

Conditions read live partner and CRM values when the step runs, so each partner takes the path that fits them. The partner who closes gets the tier and the bonus; the one who goes quiet gets the nudge, then their manager.

Update the tier, phase, owner or experience, and book a one-off commission that lands as pending for your approval and payout run.

Waits in minutes, hours or days, or anchored before or after a task's or course's due date.

Branches check the partner's current state after a wait.

Runs on its own

Salesforce stays current. The next rule starts by itself.

Workflows write back to your CRM, so the partner record your sales team sees is always the current one. A property change can move the partner into a segment, and that starts the next workflow without anyone watching for it.

Update partner properties writes to the partner's HubSpot company or Salesforce account.

A change to any partner-level CRM property, or to a deal the partner sourced, can trigger a workflow.

Rehearse on one real partner first: nothing is written or sent, and every live run is logged on the canvas.

Core features

Everything you need to run a partner program, in one place

A workflow adds no parallel system. Every trigger comes from a feature you already use, and every action writes back to one.

Partner onboarding software: Every partner finishes onboarding without you chasing

Partner onboarding

"Partner created" enrols every new partner in the onboarding journey.

Partner certification issued from Introw training, ready to share on LinkedIn

Partner training and certification

"Course completed" and "certificate issued" are triggers, and "issue a certificate" is an action, so nobody issues certificates by hand.

Partner commissions and SPIFFs in Introw: Give partners a reason to act

Partner commissions and SPIFFs

"Give commission" books a one-off line in the partner's currency. It lands as pending, so it still goes through your approval run.

Partner goal tracking: Partners see where they stand every day, so they push the right deals

Partner goal tracking

There is no goal-status trigger, so automate the chase with a dynamic segment on the same CRM data the goal counts.

Shared pipeline and two-tier deals

"CRM record updated" fires on a deal linked to the partner, such as one they sourced.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is partner workflow automation?

Partner workflow automation enforces the rules of your partner program for you. In Introw a workflow starts from a trigger, such as a course completed or a partner entering a segment. It then waits, branches and acts: it updates the tier, gives a task, books a commission line or sends an email, the same way for every partner.

What can trigger a partner workflow?

Thirteen triggers across tasks, journeys, courses, certificates, partners, contacts, CRM records and segments. Partner updated fires on any partner-level CRM property, and segment membership turns conditions like "has not traded in 30 days" into a trigger, because dynamic segments re-evaluate against live partner and CRM data.

Do we need code or a consultant to build workflows?

No. Partner ops builds workflows on a canvas by picking a trigger, conditions, waits and actions from lists. A workflow saves as a draft, Introw lists what is still missing, and you rehearse it on one real partner before switching it on. Changing a live workflow is the same edit, the same day.

Can a workflow pay a partner a bonus?

Yes. The give commission action books a one-off commission line in the partner's own currency. It lands as a pending line, so it still goes through your normal review and payout run, paid through Introw Pay or your finance stack.

Can a workflow promote a partner to the next tier?

Yes. The update partner properties action sets the partner's tier, and the new tier syncs to your CRM. Start it from an event such as a certificate issued or a course completed. Reaching a goal is not a trigger on its own, so promotions tied to goals run through a bulk tier change after a review.

Can we test a workflow before it goes live?

Yes. A test run rehearses the workflow against one partner you pick: waits resolve instantly, conditions read live data, and nothing is written or sent. After you switch it on, every run is logged and drawn back onto the canvas, so you can see which path each partner took.

How do workflows work with HubSpot and Salesforce?

Workflows read your CRM data and can write back to it. A change to any partner-level property, or to a CRM record linked to the partner such as a sourced deal, can trigger a workflow. Actions can update CRM properties on the partner company and log a note on the CRM record, so your sales team sees what happened.
