Passing over registered information to Area sales staff,,, want to achieve such a Workflow. However, Google Apps provides no Workflow function.

It is obvious if you look the Flow chart, 'Completion email' is sent automatically at first when a registration information flows into this Workflow definition. Here the first 'Split Condition ; A', 'Completion email' will be sent automatically, if they meet the following conditions.

a. 'Email address' is entered
b. 'Applicant name' is entered
c. 'Applicant name' does not include strings of 'test'

As a matter of course, the contents of the email are customizable according to the registration.

On the other hand, the registrations that not satisfy those conditions of a, b, c, will go to [X. Error check]. Then the members of Marketing will correspond them, to phone the applicant to correct information, or just throw away the process as a noise.

And the next, the second 'Split Condition ; B' is the start of concurrent processing. That is, the process goes to both [2. Material shipping] and 'Split condition ; C'. For specialists, it may sound easier to say 'a token breaks up on a AND split'

Tasks of [2. Material shipping] continue to arrive to the members of Marketing, so they just do their job solemnly.

On the other hand, setup a rule on 'Split condition ; C' such as,

(a) "Applicant's phone number" begins with '03' or '04'
(b) "Applicant's phone number" begins with '06' or '07'
(c) Other

And the tasks of [3.Sales Support] go to Sales team of each region。

Now you can see which sales person takes care of which applicant, in 'real time'.
