Auto-play Workflow via Permalink

You might want to provide users a quick rundown of the process of creating a New Opportunity in Salesforce without requiring them to engage with the application. In these situations, you can enable the Workflow's Auto Pilot feature and use its Permalink to instantly show the Workflow to your users saving time and effort.

You can obtain the Permalink with Auto Pilot while creating or editing Workflows in Apty Studio or the Admin Portal.

Auto-playing Workflows using Permalinks is a two step process:

Step 1: Enable Autopilot in your Workflow

You can enable Autopilot in a new or an existing Workflow. To learn how to enable Autopilot in your Workflow, see Enable Workflow Auto Pilot.

Step 2: Retrieve Permalink with Auto Pilot

In this section we'll learn how to auto-play the Create New Opportunity Workflow using Permalink in Salesforce.

To use the Workflow Permalink with Auto Pilot,

2.  Select SFL to open Salesforce on your browser.

Note:

3.  Once the application opens, click Workflows on the Apty Studio.

4.  Click Create New Opportunity from the list of Workflows.
