AI WORKFLOWS

Describe your follow up in a sentence, and the AI builds the workflow

Most studios know the follow up they want. Few have time to build it. In Allio you describe it in plain words, such as “when someone books a newborn session, send our welcome email and text a reminder two days before”, and the AI lays out the workflow on the canvas. You check each step, change the wording and publish when you’re happy.

$297 per month. Card required. AI and phone usage billed at cost.

How it works

  1. Open Automation and describe what should happen, in a sentence or two.
  2. The AI lays out the trigger and the steps: emails, texts, waits, tags, tasks and branches.
  3. Check each step. Change the wording, the timing or who gets the task.
  4. Test it on yourself, then publish. Nothing runs until you do.

You can keep asking for changes in plain words, such as “add a reminder the morning of the session”, or edit the canvas yourself.

AI inside the steps, too

Writes the messages. Inside a workflow, the AI can draft the text or email for a step, which you then edit.

Reads and decides. AI steps can summarise a call transcript, sort a reply by what the client wants, or translate a message, and the workflow carries on from the result.

Workflows portrait studios build first

New enquiry. A welcome text within a minute, then a task for the team if nobody has replied in an hour.

Missed call. A missed call text back and a call back task for the next person on your team.

Booked session. A confirmation, a what to wear email and a reminder text before the day.

After the session. A viewing reminder, then a review request once the order is in. See AI review replies for the replies.

Next year. A rebooking message to last year’s families before your busy season.

You stay in charge

The AI drafts; you publish. Every workflow can be tested before it goes live, and each run is logged, so you can see who went through it and what was sent. Texts and emails respect each client’s opt out and do not disturb settings.

What it costs

AI features are included in the $297 plan. AI and phone usage is billed at cost, on top of the $297.

AI workflow questions

What is AI workflow automation?

It’s automation you set up by describing it. You say what should happen and when, and the AI builds the trigger and steps that do it, instead of you dragging each step in by hand.

Do I need to know how to build automations?

No. Describe the follow up in plain words. You can still open each step and change it, and you can build or edit workflows by hand at any time.

Will it send messages without me checking?

Not until you publish the workflow. Once it’s published, it runs for every client who meets the trigger, so check the wording first.

Can the AI write the texts and emails?

Yes. It can draft the message for a text or email step, and you edit it before you publish.

What can start a workflow?

Things like a new enquiry form, a booking, a missed call, a tag, a pipeline stage change or a signed document.

What does it cost?

Allio is $297 per month. The AI features are included in the $297 plan, and AI and phone usage is billed at cost on top.
