This powerful feature ensures timely responses, lead management, and seamless workflow automation without manual intervention.\ \ Whether you're sending a WhatsApp message, tagging a lead, or assigning a team member, triggers help you save time and create smarter customer journeys. #### Triggers: Define the event or field-based logic that starts the automation. Example conditions include: a. Whenever a customer replies and an automation has been set up for that specific message, it is considered a trigger activation.\ b. When a field like "Lead Status" equals a specific value. Perform Action: Executes internal operations to streamline workflows. These include updating lead status, tagging leads, assigning team members, updating custom fields, or organizing customers into specific segments. #### Exit Conditions (optional) Define when the trigger should stop executing further actions. This helps control over-communication and avoid repetitive workflows.
