Company Triggers: Created and Changed
If you keep companies as their own records, two triggers let workflows respond to them: Company Created and Company Changed. Both are available in workflows that are built around the Company record rather than around a contact.
Company Created
Fires when a new company record appears, whether it was added manually, imported, submitted through a form, or added by an integration or API call.
Optional filters let you narrow it down, for example:
- Industry contains "Real Estate".
- Company Name contains "LLC".
- Owner is not empty.
Typical actions: send a welcome email, associate contacts with the company, and sync the details to another system.
Company Changed
Fires when a company record is updated and the update matches the field conditions you set.
- Choose the fields to monitor, either standard or custom, such as Industry, Domain or Status.
- Pick an operator for each field. Is not empty passes when the field holds any value; Contains Phrase passes when the value includes your words.
- Add several filters if needed. They combine with AND logic, so every condition must be true.
Set one up
- Go to Automation > Workflows and create a workflow of the Company type.
- Click Add New Trigger and select Company Created or Company Changed.
- Name it, add filters, and click Save Trigger.
- Add actions and publish.
Examples
- Healthcare onboarding: when Industry contains "Healthcare", enroll the company in a healthcare onboarding workflow.
- Domain captured: when Domain becomes not empty, send an internal notification to the sales team so they can research the account.
- New company welcome: send an email to the primary contact and create a research task.
Good to know: Company triggers only appear in company-based workflows, so create the workflow with the Company type first.
