Rules automation is one of the iClosed premium features that help you streamline Events and improve performance of your Closers.
By adding rules to your events, you can automatically remove Closers if they reach "maximum call limits" or if they are not meeting the "stop loss" criteria of the event.
Automations are available with Business and Enterprise subscription plans only.
This feature is accessible to Super Admins and Sales Managers roles by default.
Rules overview
There are two types of Rules you can apply:
Maximum number of calls
To limit maximum number of calls for Closers to ensure they are not overburnt
Perfect for onboarding new talents.
Stop loss
To set your own stop loss for Closers who are under-achieving according to your criteria.
Such Closers will be automatically removed from the Event as soon as the condition has been met.
Navigate to AI Scheduler → Automations, click on the "Create Rule" button and select one of the two options available.
Maximum number of calls rule
Here's how Maximum number of calls work:
Click on the "Maximum number of calls" rule
Set "Rule Name" first
Select which events this rule applies to
An event can have only one rule of the same type
If you don’t see the Event in the events dropdown, you might have already applied a rule of the same type to that Event.
Set the number of calls a closer can get for selected event
The list of Closers assigned to the Event will appear bellow
Hit "Create Rule" button, and it's set. Simple as that!
Example
Maximum number of calls set for a specific Closer is 5.
Even though Closers availability is set to allow Closer to get more than 5 calls per day, the Automation Rule will block scheduling as soon as the criteria is met, no matter the Event Priority setup.
