Action Management Tools

Manage business processes

Upmind’s Action Management Tools help you automate, monitor, and control key business processes, making daily operations smoother and more efficient.

They manage actions triggered by your products and services, like provisioning, suspending, or terminating accounts, so you can deliver a smooth customer experience with minimal effort. These tools let you track and handle everything from creating hosting accounts to updating licenses and sending notifications.

Available in both the Admin and Client areas (with some actions limited to admins), these tools integrate with services like hosting and domains, giving you full control over your automated workflows.

Why use action management tools?

Action management tools can provide a few benefits:

  1. Save Time: Automate repetitive tasks and reduce manual work.
  2. Improve Accuracy: Minimise human error by letting the system handle complex actions.
  3. Boost Transparency: Always know the status of every action and quickly spot issues.
  4. Improved Customer Experience: Resolve problems faster and keep your clients informed.
  5. Stay Organised: Manage all your business actions from one place, even as you scale.

Product notes

You and your team can add and view non-sensitive information about any product or service directly within the client area. These notes are perfect for sharing helpful details, reminders, or updates with the Upmind Drafts team or among your staff.

Example: You might record a client’s special request, a troubleshooting tip, or a summary of recent changes. Notes make it easy to keep everyone on the same page without cluttering up support tickets or emails, helping your business stay organised and responsive.

Product notes

Product secrets

These are built for storing and sharing sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, or license codes, that should never be visible in plain text. Upmind keeps all secrets locked away in a digital vault using strong AES-256 encryption, so your confidential data is always protected.

Only authorised users can access these secrets, giving you peace of mind and meeting high security standards. Sharing secrets securely helps your team work efficiently while keeping client trust and compliance front and center.

Product secrets

  • Secret Label: The secret label is a simple, human-friendly name you give to each secret-like Server Root Password or API Key for Client X. This makes it easy to quickly find and identify the right piece of sensitive information without exposing the actual secret value.

    Clear labels help your team stay organised and avoid confusion, especially when managing multiple products or clients.

  • Secret Value: The secret value is the actual sensitive data you need to store securely, such as a password, token, or private key. Upmind encrypts this value automatically, so it’s always safe from unauthorised access.

    Only users with the right permissions can view or use the secret, ensuring your business and client data stays protected at all times.
