Website Planet had the chance to sit down and chat with Sujay Pawar, Co-founder of Brainstorm Force, one of the most successful WordPress product companies on the planet, with products like the Ultimate Elementor Addons and Astra in their portfolio.
We will look at their latest creation, SureTriggers, a new automation platform that is set to become a real game-changer for all MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, Asana, Trello and many hundreds of app users.
We will discover where the idea came from, the challenges faced during development, and what makes SureTriggers a better alternative to Zapier and other automation solutions for WordPress and ActiveCampaign.
Let’s introduce SureTriggers to our audience. What is it and how does it work?
Running a business usually means using a wide range of applications, services, and plugins. On average, organizations use 110 pieces of software to manage operations(!!!)
Think contact forms, email marketing tools, social media sites, payment gateways, CRMs, helpdesk, eCommerce plugins, communication tools, project management platforms, learning management systems… You name it, organizations probably use it.
That’s a lot of moving parts, and the issue is that these are all separate tools that typically cannot interact with one another. This results in a significant amount of time and energy being wasted on manual data input and duplication.
Meet Julie, the owner of a successful online store. When someone places an order on her website, she wants to accomplish the following:
Add the customer to a CRM system.
Add them to the order management and/or dispatch system.
Enter the order information into an accounting system.
Send the buyer a thank you email.
Then, after 15 days, send them another email asking for feedback.
Send a voucher promoting the next purchase if the buyer writes a five-star review.
If the consumer fails to redeem the coupon, remind them three days before it expires.
She also wants to be notified in a Slack channel of any orders that exceed $500 USD.
Also, for significant orders, send a WhatsApp message to make the consumer feel special and to create a stronger relationship with them.
This is just one example of a small company owner attempting to operate and grow her basic eCommerce website. As you can imagine, she spends a lot of time performing all of these steps manually for every order.
It’s time she could be spending nurturing customers, growing her business, marketing and working on her business, not just in her business.
That’s why we built SureTriggers, an advanced automation tool that simplifies and streamlines online operations. Its user-friendly interface and robust features enable you to automate tedious operations and create seamless workflows across various apps and platforms.
I believe SureTriggers is a genuine game-changer – It can optimize so many aspects of digital operations, whether you’re a business owner, marketer, or website administrator.
There is a vast library of triggers and actions, which allows you to create workflows customized to your individual needs. Things like sending personalized emails, adding or updating client information in a CRM, triggering notifications, scheduling activities, and much much more can be automated.
Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with common tools and platforms, like email marketing tools, CRMs, eCommerce platforms, and content management systems. It enables you to link and automate activities across many systems, removing the need for human data entry and lowering the chance of human error.
The modern visual builder is another unique feature. It allows you to design and customize complicated workflows on a canvas, without the need for coding or technical skills. You can build triggers, set up actions, and customize the flow of your automation using its drag-and-drop interface.
How did you come up with the idea, and how did you validate it?
Mostly, the idea came out of personal experience. We used automation platforms for our in-house operations and always struggled to connect WordPress with SaaS-based applications and vice-versa.
There were many options like Zapier, however it did not connect well with WordPress and the cost was exorbitant. They were also developed several years ago and the user experience left a lot to be desired!
WordPress automation plugins were also available but are limited. They have limited integrations and have been known to slow down websites. They can also require extensive technical knowledge to operate, which makes them hard to work with.
When we dug a bit deeper, we found many end-users faced a similar set of problems.
SureTriggers was designed to solve those problems.
It was designed from the ground up to connect with WordPress and other third-party apps. The platform is lightweight and fast and offers a modern user experience that is simple to use.
And, above all, it comes at an affordable price that won’t break the bank!
We performed viability testing within our community where many users tried the product and liked it more than the competition. Also, I and Adam Preiser (WPCrafter), were working closely together to bring SureTriggers to life by building it with our combined experience.

Since we’re adding so many integrations, we have to handle a large number of APIs. These APIs help connect different apps within SureTriggers. Sometimes, the applications we integrate with make changes to their APIs, and we have to update our systems accordingly.
The good thing is that most developers announce in advance that they are updating their APIs. So we have to pay attention to their update announcements and plan our activities accordingly.
