Workflows

Workflows and workflow automation

Workflows help FyneDesk move work forward for you. They live in the Service Management settings area, and they cover both step by step processes and automatic rules.

Use Workflows when the same thing keeps happening again and again. For example, you can auto assign billing tickets to the finance team, ask the right people to approve a change, or move an incident from New to Investigating to Resolved without losing track of the next step.

What you can do

Automate ticket work

Start with a trigger, check a condition, then let FyneDesk do an action like assign a team, set priority, add a tag, or add an internal note.

Run service processes

Use stages for work that needs a clear path, such as Change Management, Incident Management, Service Request, Onboarding, Offboarding, and Procurement.

Collect approvals

Add approval steps so only the right people can approve a change, request, purchase, or handoff.

About the name

The customer facing page title is Workflows. The settings route and some older labels still mention Service Management, so this guide uses both names when it helps you search.

A few everyday examples

  • When a ticket is created with the Billing category, assign it to Finance.
  • When a Critical ticket is created, notify the on call agent and route it to the support team.
  • When a change needs CAB approval, send it to people with the approve changes permission before it can be scheduled.
