What is a Conditional Workflow?
A conditional workflow is a robust tool for setting rules that control how tickets progress in your helpdesk system. Its main purpose is to prevent a ticket from advancing to the next stage until all associated activities are done. This control mechanism ensures a seamless workflow, reducing the chance of tasks being overlooked.
How to Set Up a Conditional Workflow:
To establish a conditional workflow, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Workflow Builder in your helpdesk system
- Select the relevant stage within your workflow
- Scroll down and locate the “Outcomes” , where you can fine-tune the stage’s behavior
Enable the “Should complete all activities” option. This ensures that no progression to the next stage is allowed until all associated activities have been successfully completed.
