How does Formatting work for Customer Onboarding automation?
Formatting works for Customer Onboarding automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Formatting alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Customer Onboarding, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
For every new signup this week
Guide new customers through setup and activation automatically, significantly reducing time-to-first-value.
- 03
Send a personalized getting-started email and create their first workspace in our app
Teams typically see days → Hours from signup to first win once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
