Article Summary

Workflows is a way to run a predetermined set of automation as soon as something happens to an Opportunity. There are two (2) types of Workflows. First is the Status Workflow which uses a status as the trigger to run the automation meaning you could set up a task, webhook, and/or email notification to go out once an Opportunity is in a certain status. The other one is the Labels Workflow which uses Labels you have saved in the system as the trigger and executes the same automation as soon as the Label is added to the Opportunity.

Pro and Premium Feature
Workflows is only available for Pro and Premium users. If you are on the Essentials plan and you wish to upgrade, please email billing@investorfuse.com or send a chat to our support team.

Create a Status Workflow

You can also set up Workflows for Transaction Statuses. For example, you can set it up where if a deal is marked 'Marketing being created' status, you can automatically assign someone a task to upload all pictures to the Dropbox folder.

  2. Click ⚙️ the cogwheel icon to open more settings
