Overview
After your trigger fires, action nodes execute in sequence to complete your business process. There are six categories of action nodes in Reevo.Record Actions
These nodes read, create, or update records in your Reevo CRM.Create Record
Create Record
Creates a new record of a specified object type (Contact, Account, Opportunity, etc.) using data from earlier workflow steps or static values.When to use: Automatically create a Contact from a form submission, or generate an Opportunity when a qualifying event occurs.Key configuration:
- Select the object type to create
- Map fields using static values or variables from earlier nodes
- The newly created record is available as a variable in all subsequent nodes
Update Records
Update Records
Updates one or more fields on an existing record - either the record that triggered the workflow or one retrieved by a Search Records node.When to use: Assign an owner, clear a field, or update any CRM field when a condition is met.Key configuration:
- Select which record to update (trigger record or a found record)
- Map the fields you want to change and the values to write (static or variable)
- Multiple fields can be updated in a single node
Search Records
Search Records
Searches for existing records in Reevo that match conditions you define. Results are passed forward as variables for subsequent nodes.When to use: Look up the Account linked to a Contact before updating it, find all Contacts at a company, or retrieve a related record.Key configuration:
- Select the object type to search
- Define filter conditions (e.g., “Account Domain equals trigger contact’s domain”)
- Supports returning a single record or a collection
Move Stage
Move Stage
Moves the stage on an existing record - either the record that triggered the workflow or one retrieved by a Search Records node.When to use: Move forward to the next opportunity stage when a specific field is filled, or move to a different contact stage.Key configuration:
- Select which record to move (trigger record or a found record)
- Select whether you want to shift backward, forward, or to a target stage
- Configure whether you want to skip stage criteria for opportunity stages
Logic Actions
These nodes control the logic and branching of your workflow.Condition
Condition
Branches your workflow into multiple paths based on the value of a variable. Think of it as a multi-way If/Else.When to use: Route leads to different owners by territory, apply different sequences by industry, or send different notifications depending on deal stage.Key configuration:
- Select the variable to evaluate
- Define a downstream path for each case value
- Optionally configure a default path for values that don’t match any defined case
Compute
Compute
Computes formulas, allowing you to configure any special calculation you need.When to use: Calculate 7 days from now, find the max of two values, apply conditional labels based on amount thresholds, or any other computation.Key configuration:
- Write a formula and select variables
- Add functions like MAX or TODAY as needed
Timing & Delay Actions
These nodes pause a workflow run for a defined period before continuing.Delay
Delay
Pauses the workflow for a fixed amount of time, then automatically continues.When to use: Wait a set amount of time between steps - for example, hold 1 hour before sending a follow-up notification.Key configuration:
- Enter the amount and unit of time to delay
- Delays are enforced server-side - closing your browser or logging out has no effect on a running workflow
Notification Actions
These nodes send alerts and messages to your team.Send Slack Message
Send Slack Message
Sends a message to a Slack channel via your connected Slack integration.When to use: Notify a channel when a high-value deal is created, alert a rep when their lead submits a form, or post automated pipeline updates to a dedicated Slack channel.Key configuration:
- Select the target Slack channel
- Compose the message - variables from earlier nodes can include live record data
- Add formatting like
**bold**for emphasis - Requires Slack to be connected under Settings → Integrations
Troubleshooting / FAQs
My node errored - what happened?
My node errored - what happened?
Check the run details in the Runs tab. Common reasons include: the contact is missing a valid email address, the opportunity hasn’t met stage criteria, or an invalid value was provided.
Can I connect multiple actions after a conditional node?
Can I connect multiple actions after a conditional node?
Yes - each branch of a Condition node can have its own chain of action nodes.
Can I use the output of one node as input to another?
Can I use the output of one node as input to another?
Yes - this is how variables work in workflows. Any node that creates or retrieves data makes that data available as a variable. When configuring a later node, switch to variable mode in any field to see and select values from earlier steps.
