TracCloud: TracFlow

From Redrock Wiki

TracFlow

TracFlows enable you to automate a wide range of actions within TracCloud, functioning as a programming language specifically designed for TracCloud. TracFlow automations can be used to dynamically configure TracCloud to execute a series of actions that replicate processes at your campus. These actions can be scheduled events or triggered by specific actions within the system. When activated, a TracFlow can perform various tasks, including sending emails, modifying records, and creating new referrals or surveys.

Redrock support will be able to assist you in configuring TracFlows upon request. Once we confirm that an action can be automated, we will provide pricing information prior to putting it in place on your system.

Automation Goal

Once you have an idea of an action or event that you want to automate, reach out to Redrock at helpdesk.go-redrock.com or at helpdesk@go-redrock.com and we'll walk you through the rest. We will work with you to determine the best way to accomplish this.
