3. Automates updating operations team for pre-installation steps, initiates customer communications, and allows finance to prepare quotations or contracts promptly.

4. Automation eliminates manual checking and missed opportunities, streamlining the sales funnel for generator retailers.

Trigger Conditions

1. Sales deal or lead is moved or updated to a new pipeline stage in CRM or sales management software.

2. Conditions include: qualified lead, offer sent, negotiation, deal won/lost, post-sale.
