Workflow Actions

Actions are the “do this” part - the magic that happens automatically once your trigger + conditions say GO. One click = hundreds of manual steps saved forever.

How Actions work

After trigger fires -> conditions pass -> 5day.io instantly runs every action in your list (top to bottom). You can stack as many actions as you want.

Actions comes with two categories:

  1. Field-update Actions
  2. Email Actions
