Quick Start

Get up and running with Sequensy in under 5 minutes.

Overview

This guide will walk you through creating your first workflow in Sequensy. By the end, you’ll have a working automation that sends an email whenever a new user registers on your site.

Step 1: Access Sequensy

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
  2. Click Sequensy in the left sidebar
  3. You’ll see the main workflow dashboard

Step 2: Create a New Workflow

  1. Click the Create Workflow button
  2. Enter a name for your workflow: “Welcome New Users”
  3. Click Create to open the workflow builder

Step 3: Add a Trigger

Triggers define when your workflow runs. For this example, we’ll use the “User Registered” trigger.

  1. In the workflow builder, you’ll see a Trigger node
  2. Click on it to configure
  3. Select WordPress > User Registered from the dropdown
  4. This trigger fires whenever someone creates a new account

Step 4: Add an Action

Actions define what happens when the trigger fires.

  1. Click the + button below the trigger node
  2. Select Add Action
  3. Choose WordPress > Send Email
  4. Configure the email:
    • To: {{Trigger.user_email}}
    • Subject: Welcome to our site, {{Trigger.display_name}}!
    • Message: Write your welcome message

Step 5: Use Dynamic Variables

Notice the {{Trigger.user_email}} syntax? These are workflow variables that get replaced with actual data when the workflow runs.

Available variables from the User Registered trigger:

VariableDescription
{{Trigger.user_id}}The new user’s ID
{{Trigger.user_email}}The user’s email address
{{Trigger.user_login}}The username
{{Trigger.display_name}}The user’s display name

Step 6: Activate Your Workflow

  1. Click Save to save your workflow
  2. Toggle the Active switch to enable the workflow
  3. Your workflow is now live!

Testing Your Workflow

To test the workflow:

  1. Open an incognito/private browser window
  2. Go to your site’s registration page
  3. Create a new test account
  4. Check the email inbox for your welcome email

Viewing Activity Logs

After your workflow runs:

  1. Go to Sequensy > Activity
  2. You’ll see a log entry showing:
    • When the workflow ran
    • The trigger that fired
    • Each action that executed
    • Any errors (if they occurred)
