Adding People to Flows From Groove

Finding the right prospects and clients to reach out to can be tricky; that's why Groove allows you to import people into Flows in multiple ways.

 

Note: Everyone you add to a Flow must already be a contact or lead in Salesforce.

 

In this article we'll explain:

Adding Contacts and Leads Directly from Your Flow

Adding Contacts and Leads Directly From Your Flow

While creating the Flow:

 

Click Add People option in the flow creation wizard

 

 

 

To Add People After the Flow is created

 

  • From Flows, click the Flow you want to add people to

  • Click Add > People at the top right

     

     

 

Once you've clicked 'Add People' you'll notice the different options you have for importing your Contacts or Leads.

 

This option is great for quickly adding someone to a Flow a la carte by doing a live search of your Salesforce records.

 

Simply search for the email, name, phone number, company, or title of the person/people you're looking to add to your Flow.

 

NOTE: By default, Groove will only select results that don't have import warnings. You can manually select or de-select contacts by clicking the checkbox next to their name.

 

This is one of the most flexible and powerful ways to add contacts and leads to your Flows because it allows you to set your own custom search criteria and then save that search to be used later.

 

Additionally, you can associate each person you import to a related object, which will be used to relate the logged activities to, and can also be used for Related Object Merge fields.

 

Tip: Click "Save this search" at the bottom of Advanced Search to save your Advanced Search allows you to reuse it later or for automated import into Flows.

 

 

 

Salesforce List View

 

You can use any Salesforce List View you've created or that is shared with you to import people to your Flow:

 

  • First, pick the object that you want to use - Ex. Opportunities + Contacts

  • Then pick from the available List views for that Object - Ex. Closing this Month

     

Note: The columns used in this view will be inherited from the List View columns set in Salesforce.

 

 

Salesforce Report

You can use any Salesforce report that you have access to and import people to your Flow.

 

  • First, you need to select the folder that the report is saved in from Salesforce

  • Then you can select the report

 

Note: You can find the report folder a report lives in by "saving-as" on an existing report, or looking at the report properties. This is especially powerful if there is a report in Salesforce that continually gets updated with more contacts or leads that you want to contact. Reports can also be used to set up automatic import into flows and can even be assigned or routed based on the owner.

 

Flow Import Icons

Below is the list of what alerts can appear in your Flows, what they mean, and what you can do to resolve them.
