Continuous workflows are an automated workflow type in snapAddy DataAgents that systematically updates and enriches your entire CRM database. Unlike event-based workflows that process individual records when triggered by external events, continuous workflows work through all records of a selected entity type automatically and continuously.  ### Benefits of continuous workflows Continuous workflows help you maintain a consistently high-quality CRM database by: - **Automatically keeping data up-to-date** without manual effort - **Updating information** across all records - **Filling data gaps** with verified information from reliable sources - **Saving time** through automation while maintaining quality control ### How do continuous workflows function? Once set up, a continuous workflow downloads all relevant record IDs from your CRM system based on your defined filters, then processes each record individually through the configured workflow steps. The workflow can include a data refinement step to standardize the format of contact data before enrichment begins. It automatically repeats the process once all records have been updated and runs continuously in the background without requiring manual intervention. The workflow can enrich and update your data using multiple high-quality sources, such as the Company Data Search for comprehensive company information, the Email Validator for verifying and validating email addresses, and the Contact Person Search for enriching contact details using you business socials. ### Prerequisites To use continuous workflows, you need: - An active **CRM connection** to one of the supported systems (Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP Sales Cloud, or HubSpot) - Appropriate permissions in your CRM - A snapAddy DataAgents license ### Setting up continuous workflows snapAddy offers pre-built templates for the supported CRM systems: Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP Sales Cloud, and HubSpot. These templates are optimized for typical use cases and can be customized to your specific needs.  If you require a customized workflow, please contact [sales@snapaddy.com](mailto:sales@snapaddy.com) or your Customer Success Manager. ### Managing workflow output Continuous workflows are designed for comprehensive automation and automatically process entities without manual intervention. However, when needed, snapAddy DataAgents offers the suggestions feature for selective quality control. You can configure workflows to require manual review for specific fields or data types where human oversight is valuable. This optional review process allows you to balance automation efficiency with targeted quality assurance for critical data points.

After major changes in your CRM structure - When modifying entity filters - To ensure the workflow processes the most current record set This synchronization refreshes the list of record IDs and ensures your continuous workflow operates on the latest data.  ### Related articles -
