Automation Rules

![Page 24: Game Changers: Widgets and Automation Rules...Game Changers: Widgets and Automation Rules Heather McNair, Director of Client Success, Higher Logic George Stocker, Developer, Higher](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042600/5f3eb59748010c71966b7dc8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What are automation rules? Allow you to perform certain marketing, engagement and community management actions on an automatic, recurring basis based on criteria that you specify. They are also designed to replace some of the integration logic you formerly had to rely on us to build. The power is now in your hands!
![Page 25: Game Changers: Widgets and Automation Rules...Game Changers: Widgets and Automation Rules Heather McNair, Director of Client Success, Higher Logic George Stocker, Developer, Higher](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042600/5f3eb59748010c71966b7dc8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Possible Actions • Add to a community (subscribe is forthcoming) • Add a ribbon • Add to a security group • Send an email • Add to a network • Create an ad-hoc report (off-label use)
![Page 26: Game Changers: Widgets and Automation Rules...Game Changers: Widgets and Automation Rules Heather McNair, Director of Client Success, Higher Logic George Stocker, Developer, Higher](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042600/5f3eb59748010c71966b7dc8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Setting criteria • Dozens of options • Compound rules – criteria must be all “and” or all “or” • Make rules work in conjunction with each other • Idea that’s not there? Let us know through the
Automation Rules Community on HUG.

Possible scenario - Send an email “SpineConnect just launched on Tuesday (!) and one of the things that we're seeing most often since we are using the new Daily Digest format that allows you to reply via email is that our members aren't even going to the site. They're simply replying via the Daily Digest. That's okay by me but this results in a lot of posts from people who don't have their profiles set up yet. We'd like to send out an automated message that thanks people for posting but asks them to upload a profile photo. So the condition of "Has not uploaded profile photo" would be necessary to do so.”

Additional scenarios – Send an email • Welcome to new member • Engagement message to user who has never posted • Engagement message to a user who has never logged in • Re-engagement message to someone who has posted in the
past, but hasn’t posted in the last 90 days • Thank you message for a user who reached a certain point level • Notify everyone in a state that there is an upcoming event

Possible scenarios – Add a ribbon We created chapter communities during integration but decided to keep them hidden for now. However, we’d love to add a ribbon to members’ profiles showing what chapter they are part of.

Possible scenario – Add to a community We want to automatically add all users with a certain job title to a community, but we want other people who don’t share that job title to be able to join, too.

Possible scenario – Add to a security group We had to restrict our blog creation page to members only because of spam blogs that were created. How can we open it back up – safely?

Deactivating Rules • This functionality will be forthcoming. • In the meantime, just change the criteria so your users no
longer meet it and re-run the rule.
