Rule actions

You can specify four different types of actions that are performed when the criteria for a rule is met. For each action, you specify whether to perform the action immediately or at a certain date and time.

Rule actions that specify immediate execution are performed in the order that you define. You can use the Up and Down buttons to reorder actions. If an action is dependent on another action to be completed first, consider this dependency when you order actions. The order of actions does not affect time-based actions.

You can specify the following types of actions:
Create Activity Plan
Creates an activity plan from the template that you specify. You can assign the activity plan to the user who invoked the action, to a coverage role, or a specific user name. You can also associate the contact from the target object or a specific contact for the activity plan.
Create Task
Creates a task from the activity template that you specify. You can assign the task to the user who invoked the action, to a coverage role, a specific user name, or a work queue. You can also associate the contact from the target object or a specific contact for the task.
Send Notification
Sends a notification to alert users to changes to relevant information in NexJ CRM. You can also add quick responses to notifications, which enable users to perform an action on the record associated with a notification.
Note: To enable notifications you must assign the appropriate privileges to users and enable application features and user options for the system. For more information, see Enabling notifications.
Update Field
Updates a field to a specific value. You can select the field and define the field value to update.
Note: You can add a maximum of 100 actions for a given rule. The system will ignore actions beyond the allowed limit. Performance may be affected if too many actions are created.
