Branching the workflow template

You can configure the project template to use a different workflow that is based on template attributes. For example, you can configure the template to use a different workflow based on what selection the user makes in the form attribute channel: phone, direct mail, or email. Understandably, the tasks for a project might change dramatically based on these options.

Before you begin

You must add forms to your project template before you branch the workflow. You must create workflow templates in your system before you branch the workflow.

You can build workflow template branching based on the following types of form and campaign attributes.

  • Single-select
  • Single-select database
  • Yes/No
