Here's one quick example of what you can do with @userlist.com's new recurring trigger feature: Automated Quarterly Business Review invitations 📊

Extra nice when combined with our @savvycal.com integration to automatically stop reminders after people booked a call 🙌

You can now run powerful workflows based on what happens on an organization-level, and not just on the user-level 💪

Here's a slightly adjusted version of this with a different label.

Working on a new filter expression for @userlist.com today.

Does this make sense? What do you think this does? How can we make this clearer?

We just launched two new trigger types for workflows in Userlist 🚀

You can now start workflows whenever someone joins (or leaves) a company ⚡️

For example, you can now trigger a workflow for new admins joining an account ✨
