How do I create Automated Rules with Rule Templates?

Rule Templates are only available on the Advanced Plan.

If you're not sure where to start with your Automated Rules, use a Rule Template. Rule Templates are pre-built rules that populate the name, description, criteria and actions for common flows to get you started. 

You can use Sprout’s Automated Rules to create systems for categorizing and measuring your inbound messages, including reviews, in the Smart Inbox and outgoing posts. To learn more about Automated Rules, click here
