Custom Object Created > Send Email to X List

Hey there! I’m stuck!

We are trying to automate Leasing updates for our properties.

We have a custom object called Leasing Updates, where we put SQFT, Tenant name, Property name etc.

When this object is created, we want to dynamically insert this data via tokens in a marketing email, and send to a list of Investors in that property.

So If I create a record for Demi’s Shopping Center with all info on the new lease aquired, I want to push the data to an email via tokens and then send to the list titled “Demi’s Shopping Center Investors”.

How can I accomplish this?

Thank you!

Hey @DLeBlanc This should just be a workflow to send an email using personalization tokens within the email, personalization tokens support custom objects.

Or is there some piece of this I’m missing where this solution wouldn’t suit?

This would require that custom object to be associated with each contact in that list, right? Otherwise it would just pull in blank data tokens.

I was also trying to think of a way to push this data to all contacts in that list then running the workflow and email that way, so the data pulls. But I’m also not sure how to push to all contacts in that specific list.

Yes you would need a contact to send an email to, so the custom object would need to be associated to know which person to send the email with that data to.

If it’s specific data, you could update the custom object via workflows too, you could set a specific value or copy a value from another object into your custom object properties too.

My issue really is how do I even bulk associate an object record to a contact via automation. Not sure that’s possible yet

It’s not out of the box, the only options would be to run a job using the associations api.

Alternatively using a third party tool like associ8 would also help with this!
