Key business problem

I want to enable my contacts to update their contact preferences and details via a self-service website, and then take action on those changes and email them a confirmation of these changes, without creating manual work for myself.

Background

Cleft New Zealand is a small, volunteer-run non-profit organization. We provide advocacy, in-person meetups, and online resources to a community of approximately 100 children and families each year. This involves a lot of outreach and outbound email.

How I solved it

There have been some enhancements to Flow that meet all of our business requirements. Let’s take a look at how we built the solution, step by step.

Business results

This automation made a big impact at Cleft New Zealand. It allowed us to engage our community in a tailored, thoughtful, and relevant way. Our contacts were able to find nearby coffee group meetups by updating their addresses, and we don’t need to email our entire database if a campaign doesn’t apply to a contact.

Do try this at home

I was excited to build this solution entirely in Flow, especially the rich text email. Flow is an excellent automation tool, but remember to build responsibly. You should always build your automations in a sandbox environment and thoroughly test them.
