Find and Add a SimpleNexus Automation
To begin, we'll start by going to the Automations page and then clicking on "Browse Playbooks" at the top-right of the page.
- Next, the Playbooks pop-up will display, and we'll choose "SimpleNexus" from the categories list on the left.
- After the SimpleNexus automations have loaded, we'll find the automation we're looking for. We can preview the automation by hovering over an automation and then clicking the "See Details" button.
This will then display all what the automation will look like and give us a description of the purpose. When we want to add it to our team, we'll click the "Create Automation from Playbook" at the top-right. Doing so will add the automation to our Team and take us directly to the new automation for any editing we want to do.
Adjust Entry Conditions
Entry conditions are how we determine which contacts will receive this automation. It's important to make sure the conditions meet our intended contacts. To learn more about entry conditions, click here.
- Both SimpleNexus automations will be setup with these 'Entry Conditions'.
Type = CLIENT
This will also display the number of contacts in each condition to show us the how many contacts will meet each of those conditions AND the total number. - In this case, Type = CLIENT -and- Tag = SimpleNexus Application Completed will drive onboarding clients.
- Entry conditions can be adjusted as many times as necessary, as long as it's done before enabling the automation. Since the "Enroll existing records" is already enabled, we won't have to turn that on to automatically add this automation to the eligible contacts.

Edit the Communication Actions in New Automation
Playbook automations are designed to work well just as they are but are also editable or customizable to fit out team's desires and messaging.
First, we'll scroll down to the 'Actions' section. This is where each action that takes place in this automation lives. In this case, we'll see:
- Action 1: Delay by: 2 minutes.
This will pause the automation until 2 minutes has passed since the client was onboarded to the automation. - Action 2: SMS to the Contact and From the Contact Owner
This will send a SMS after Action 1 has completed - Action 3: Delay by: 5 minutes.
This will pause the automation until 5 minutes has passed since the SMS was sent. - Action 4: Email to the Contact and From the Contact Owner
This will an email after Action 3 has completed.
By clicking on an action, we can adjust or edit. In this case, we'll update Action 4 - Email. We like the email just as it is, but want to adjust the email Subject.
👍 This concludes editing communication actions in a new automation
