You can move a deal from its current stage to a new stage within the same pipeline, or move a deal from one pipeline to another at a specific stage using the “Update stage” automation action.

To get started:

  1. From your automation, locate where you would like to place the “Update stage” action.
  2. Click the node (+).
  3. From the modal pop up, click “CRM.”

  7. Click the third dropdown (Affects > Deals) to select which deals for your contact(s) will be affected. This is the deal(s) that will be moved to a new stage.

  8. Click the fourth dropdown (Pipeline) to select which current pipeline will be affected. This is the pipeline that contains the deal that will be moved to a new stage.

  9. Click “Save.”

If a contact in your automation encounters this action and has a deal in the pipeline selected in the “Pipeline” dropdown (4th dropdown), their deal will be moved to the stage selected in the “Select New Stage” dropdown.

If a contact in your automation does not have any deal and if they encounter this action, they will skip over this action.

If a contact in your automation has a deal in a pipeline that is different than the one selected in the “Affects Pipeline” dropdown and if they encounter this action, they will skip over this action.
