Let’s say you want to set up a workflow where a follow-up email is automatically sent to a contact after a sales task is marked as complete by a specific user.

  • Trigger Name: Sales Task Completed
  • Assigned User: John Doe
  • Filter: Business Niche = Real Estate

Once John Doe completes a task assigned to a contact in the Real Estate niche, this trigger will fire and automatically move the workflow to the next step, such as sending an email to the contact or updating the CRM status.
