Default Followers
Apr 15, 2023
Need a person or team to always be a follower whenever an Ask is submitted? Just make them a default follower!
Need someone to have access to Asks when they aren't a step owner? It's likely you'll have team members pulling data or keeping tabs on where a customer is in the process. In Pipeline you can add Default Followers to your flow, so this user or team will be added as a follower to every Ask.
Setting Up Default Followers
In the flow:
- Click 'Default Followers' tab
- Type in a user's email or a team name and hit enter
- You will now see their avatar added to the tab
- Any Asks that are created they will be able to access and receive notifications about!
- Read more here about follower's permissions in Pipeline
If you have a group of users that need access and updates on Asks, add them to a team and then set the team as a Default Follower! This way in order with adding new users or deleting unnecessary users you can just update the team.
Auto-Add Submitter
- When this toggle is enabled: The user that creates the Ask initially will be auto-added as a follower
- If the submitter initially not a registered user, they will receive an email inviting them to log in to Pipeline
If your Create Ask form is filled out by third-party users make sure this toggle is disabled so no external users are invited to log in to Pipeline. This will keep their view completely external.
