Easy Automation with Process Builder and Flow
Do Less. Get More.
Let Mogli do the heavy lifting with Process Builder and Flow. Utilizing standard Salesforce automation functionality allows you to methodically scale your text message communications while ensuring no messages go untended.
Use Cases for Process Builder
- Mogli Opt-Out - automatically check and uncheck the Mogli Opt-Out checkbox based on inbound keywords you specify. This will keep you in compliance with Opt-In/Out practices so that you keep your recipients happy.
- Send an email to a particular user based on a specific Question Response in a Form Template
- Create or update a record when a specific message is received or a specific Form is completed
- Trigger text messages to be sent according to users or recipients based on field status changes, scheduled events, and more
- Chatter and email notifications for important inbound messages (see Notifications section)
Use Cases for Flow
- Auto-creation of Contacts and Leads from Inquiry Form Templates, including population of certain fields based on Question Responses in a Form. This is great for lead generation and securing opt-in consent.
- Populate fields based off of information provided in Form Templates. This will safe your users time and preserve data accuracy!
A Few Frequently Asked Questions
If I build a process on the SMS object, will I run into queueable errors?
When many incoming messages come in quickly through Salesforce, there is a chance that you may receive a Flow or Apex error. Mitigate this risk by minimizing how often the process runs by making your criteria as specific as possible.
How do I trigger an outbound automated conversation/survey (Form Template) from Process Builder?
Follow the steps outlined in the Trigger a text message with Process Builder section below. In the Message field, include the exact text of the First Question of your Form Template. This should also be the exact text of the SMS Template to which it’s associated. When your process fires, it will initiate the Form Template and your recipient will be able to engage.
Can I trigger a text message with Flow?
Absolutely. Simply create your criteria in Flow and generate an SMS record with the same field values as you would using Process Builder.

Text in one of your specified Opt-Out keywords to one of your Gateways. Ensure that the Mogli Opt-Out checkbox has been checked and that Conversation View is greyed out. Then, text in one of your specified Opt-In keywords to that same Gateway. Ensure that the Mogli Opt-Out checkbox is unchecked and that Conversation View is enabled.
Admin Tip:
Depending upon the version of Mogli you’re running (4.2 and below), you may need to allow 5-10 minutes for the Mogli Opt-Out Automation to take effect. The Process will run at the rate of your batch process, which runs anywhere from 5-10 minutes. To see how often your batch process is running, go to Setup > Scheduled Jobs. To modify your batch process, go to the SetupMogliSMS tab, click unschedule, enter 5 and click Schedule.
Send an Email Alert based on a question response in a Form Template (Survey)
Automation makes it easy to efficiently follow up with customers, making sure they feel cared for and stay engaged.
In this example, we’re going to trigger an email notification to be sent out to a user when someone responds with one of the possible YES answers to the Question Templates that asks if they’d like help scheduling an appointment.
- From Setup, enter Classic Email Templates, and customize the email to be triggered by the Process you’re about to create. Click Save.

- Click Add Criteria, and populate the criteria as such, including the Filter Logic, and click Save
- Click Immediate Actions and populate the fields as such, including the Email Template you’ve just created, and click Save
Your Process Builder should now look like this:
- In the upper right corner, click Activate
- Create a test record for yourself (if you haven’t already) and be sure that your Mogli Number is correctly populated. Initiate the survey by texting in the Query String (keyword) to one of your active Gateways. Respond to the survey in accordance with your Process Builder criteria. Check your email.
