With Manual Journeys, agents can trigger a workflow directly from the inbox, whenever they need it. This allows teams to act faster, reduce repetitive work, and improve overall productivity.

Unlike automated workflows that run in the background, Manual Journeys give agents control: they choose when and on which ticket the workflow should be executed.

Who can set it up?

At this moment, only admins can create Manual Journeys. Once a Manual Journey is created, any agent with access to the related channel(s) can use it in the inbox.

How to set it up

  1. Go to Workflows in Trengo.
  2. Select Manual trigger as the trigger.
  3. Build the automation you want agents to run manually.
  4. Save the workflow.
  5. Refresh the inbox, the new Manual Journeys to trigger, will now appear above the ticket, ready to be selected by agents.

Important to know

  • Agents only see the Manual Journeys connected to channels that their team has access to.
  • Journeys are always triggered manually by the agent; they will not run automatically.

Example use-cases

With a single click, agents can:

  • Add a specific label, generate an AI-powered summary, and automatically close the conversation.
  • Reassign the ticket back to the AI agent (HelpMate).
  • Forward certain emails to a predefined address.

This helps agents save time on repetitive actions and focus on customer conversations that matter most.

Why Manual Journeys?

In many traditional systems, such workflows are often called macros. The difference is that Manual triggered Journeys in Trengo come with powerful AI building blocks, enabling smarter, more flexible automations.
