Sales Rep's needs to perform various activities in order to close a Deal during its final stages. Whenever a Deal has been closed and marked as Won there are sets of actions that are needed to be performed by different verticals of employees.

Remembering and executing these Activities manually is a tedious task, hence Salesmate has come up with the possibility to have an activity triggered when a deal is marked 'Won' using Salesmate Workflows.

Here is an Article and steps to help you through the process of setting up your workflow once the status of the deal is changed to WON:

• Navigate to Profile Icon from top right corner.
• Click on the Setup Section
• Head over to the Sales Automation section
• Click on Workflow Management

• Add a Workflow - Create a "New Rule"
