My Automation is not working
giversbay
Hey, I've created an automation that helps to reads data from a Google Sheet containing details of users signing up on Meta Ads. Based on each user's information in the sheet, the agent should generate a personalized outreach message and email it to me.
But it's not working.
This is my flow ID: 01K4YM32N89RTA7QJZK5WH96BY
Can you please help?

Thanks for sharing your flow ID (01K4YM32N89RTA7QJZK5WH96BY) — that makes it much easier to investigate! For Google Sheets + Meta Ads outreach automations, common issues include: (1) sheet permission not granted to Taskade's integration, (2) column headers not matching expected field names, or (3) the email action not having a valid recipient configured.
Please reach out directly to our support team via the in-app Help menu so we can look at your specific flow. Also check taskade.com/changelog (we recently improved automation trigger reliability) and taskade.com/community for others who've built similar lead outreach automations. Happy to help get this working!

Hi there i took a look at your automation, it's not enabled, you can enable it in the top right corner of the automation, however do note that the Delay action won't work for drip emails if i'm guessing your use case correctly, automation flows don't work in parallel, they work like a queue, so say the first email is on the 3rd drip, and another user is added to the excel sheet, it will only send the email after the first email has fully completed the flow.
If you want to do a drip email system, you likely need to use a Taskade project with custom fields to track the status of the user and what drip email they are on, then have automation with a daily trigger to check the tasks with a specific status and send it out on that day when they meet a certain criteria

ryantaskade Thanks Ryan, I totally understand the provided instructions, so now how to create a project and send drip emails in a sequence or setup a campaign that sends emails every 24 hours for 5 or 7 Days. If there's any tutorial I would live to get its information. Also how to I connect with an Automation Expert at Taskade as I want to integrate Whatsapp as well but it's getting difficult for me in finishing the process. Please assist in the best way possible.
Regards!

Hello! I've shared a workspace with you. You can copy over the automations and projects to your own workspace if you would like to try it out.
This is what I've come up with so far:
- Drip Email User List
This contains all users who are subscribed to the Drip Email
You will have to update this yourself to contain the relevant users.
You can also edit the "Next Drip" Field to contain more options, depending on the total amount of emails to be sent for each user across your 5/7 days.
Since you menionted you're using a google sheet, I've included an automation "Update Project From Google Sheet" that automatically updates the project whenever you add a user into the Google Sheet.
You need to set that up too.
- Drip Email Automation:
This triggers every day, and sends an email to each user, depending on which stage of the drip email they are in.
You may need to add more branches to account for more emails. (just follow the pattern of each branch to set it up)
Remember to set this up with the proper email, email body etc.

giversbay: You can contact us at support@taskade.com if you require more assistance regarding this automation, or your whatsapp integration.
the messages on the forum can't really be formatted (to bold text or provide screenshots) well, so we can probably provide better support through email instead.

giversbay: Please do refer to JiaWei's comment below! His automations and project show how a drip email process can be set up. You can also clone the kit within that space for you to customize it further.
