Scenario: Sales Support Team – Processing New Client Emails
Role: Sales Support Coordinator
Need: Whenever a new client inquiry email comes in, the coordinator must:
- Move the email to the "Client Onboarding" folder.
- Mark it as High Importance.
- Forward it to the Sales Manager and Operations Manager.
- Flag it for follow-up.
Instead of doing each action manually, the coordinator creates a Quick Step named "New Client – Onboard" that does all four actions at once.
Workflow Without Quick Step:
- Open the email → Click Move → Select folder
- Click Mark as High Importance
- Click Forward → Type recipients
- Click Flag
Workflow With Quick Step:
- Open the email → Click "New Client – Onboard" → Done ✅
(Outlook automatically moves, marks, forwards, and flags in one click)
This is perfect for repetitive tasks like:
- Approvals (forward to approver + move to “Pending” folder)
- Escalations (forward to IT + add category + move to “Urgent”)
- Archiving (mark as read + move to archive folder)
