Frequently asked questions
Will this workflow tag existing customers who were created before activation?
No, this workflow only processes customers created after you activate it. The trigger specifically monitors for new customer creation events, so existing customers in your database won't be automatically analyzed and tagged.
What happens if the AI can't determine gender from the name?
The workflow will tag the customer as "Uncertain" when the AI cannot confidently classify the name as male or female. This includes unisex names, unusual spellings, or names the AI model hasn't encountered before.
Can I modify the gender categories or add custom classifications?
Yes, you can edit the AI prompt in Step 2 to include additional categories like "Non-binary" or "Business" and update the filter in Step 3 to accept these new classifications as valid responses.
