Using sub-workflows for assignments and notifications

SOLVE

Hi Everyone, 

I've been working to optimize my workflows for scalability and encountering an issue that I should think is easy to solve, but can't figure it out.. 

 

(I have Enterprise)


Old System:

- I had numerous individual workflows for all our form submissions that would then assign new leads to team members based on Geography

- Each workflow would send internal marketing emails to team members for new leads, or would send a different internal email to team members for existing leads. (Existing leads would include more details/personalization tokens compared to New leads). 

 

New System:

- I created a subworkflow (Child) that only focuses on lead assignments (so I no longer have to re-make or make changes to in the different form submission workflows)

Challenge I'm facing:

- With this change, how I can now determine if the form submitted is from a new or existing lead?

- Previously, it was simple to check if 'Contact is unknown', but that will no longer work.. and I can't send the internal marketing emails until they've gone through the 'child assignments' workflow

 

Any ideas?

After some exploring, I was able to solve this!

By using a combo of the 'Owner Assigned Date' and 'Create Date'

@hwagner there is likely to be a better suggestion from the others mentioned, but one thing I have done when I run into similar situations and have to set up a new workflow to replace one that is existing and differentiate whether someone is new or not is to set an if/then that says "if create date is after [today, the day I create the workflow]" then the contact is new, otherwise, they are existing. Then I handle potential lead revisits from those new leads through re-enrollment criteria.

Appreciate the reply, but that would only work if we had the ability to use a relative 'Today' property... 

Otherwise, it leaves the potential for future leads created in other manners to submit this form (which is targeted to both new/existing leads).
