Sample Workflow
In the Workflow below, it shows that when you create a job lead on a new contact in the All contacts stage, it will move the contact in the Leads stage in Pending status
As an example, Contact Cuthbert Binns is in All Contacts stage
Based on the Stage Automation rule, to move this contact to Lead stage in pending, we need to create a new Job lead.
To do this, click on the action button or the ... on the top right and select Job (New) action.
From here, fill in the details and select Job lead under Job category. Make sure to fill in any Mandatory field before clicking Save or Save & View
After creating the job lead, you can check back on the stage of the contact.
You can either click on the chevron or you can click on the contact to see the stages inside the profile.
Hope this helps you set up your own Automation rule!
Note: If you’ve got multiple Contacts in one company, Vincere will move Company according to the Contact in the highest stage. Check out this article for more information.
