Who is zoolo for?

zoolo is a tool for any company struggling with manual, repetitive tasks and at least one process.
Processes can be:
  • 💰 Sales, Acquisition & Marketing
  • 🏢 Transactions
  • 🫵🏽 HR
  • ✅ Approval processes
  • 📈 Projects
  • 👋 Onboarding
  • ❓ Requests & Support
and many more.

What exactly are workflows?

A workflow is a recurring, goal-oriented process.
It consists of several phases, each containing several tasks.
A workflow is started via a trigger (more on that later) - we call a running workflow a worklow execution 💡

How can automations help me?

Automations serve as efficient AI-powered assistants, seamlessly handling repetitive, manual tasks. They work in the background and allow you to focus on achieving your workflow objectives.
An Automation can be a simple building block like
  • Sending emails
  • Creating Word documents
  • Summarizing data
or complex programs, written in our JavaScript Low-Code editor.

Why do I need tables (databases)?

Tables hold data that is relevant to complete workflows.
Every workflow is stored in a fully customizable ⚡️ database - similar to an spreadsheet.
Every database has a form with at least one input field. You can create as many databases as you want and connect them seamlessly.

Views

You can think of views as nice filters for your databases. You can create as many views as you like for each database.
You could, for example, create one view per CRM stage: New, Interested, Demo, Won, Lost.

Example

Here's an example: a sales workflows
  • It requires a database that holds the information about the actual lead, like budget, time frame, deal captain.
  • Next to that, it requires a database of companies and another one of people.
  • Each person is connected to a company and a lead.
