For Regular Users

Usage Examples

Example 1: New Deal Creation

  1. Create a new deal in stage s0 (Explore)

  2. If your team has configured s0_activities, the system automatically creates:

    • "follow up" (todo, assigned to deal owner)

    • "email" (todo, assigned to deal owner)

    • "call the boss" (todo, assigned to deal owner)

Example 2: Stage Progression

  1. Deal moves from s0 to s1 (Lead)

  2. System checks if s1 activities already exist for this deal

  3. If not, creates activities based on s1_activities configuration:

    • "send proposal" (todo, assigned to deal owner)

    • "schedule meeting" (todo, assigned to deal owner)

    • "research client" (todo, assigned to deal owner)

Example 3: Stage Regression

  1. Deal moves from s2 back to s1

  2. System checks for existing s1 activities

  3. Since they already exist, no new activities are created

  4. Prevents duplicate activities
