TracCloud: TracFlow: Difference between revisions

TracFlows enable you to automate a wide range of actions within TracCloud, functioning as a graphical 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.

TracFlows are particularly valuable for campuses focused on supporting students and preventing them from falling through the cracks. By automating routine procedures and follow-ups, campuses can ensure that no student is overlooked and that timely interventions are made when necessary.

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.
