Triggers track customer actions and changes in CRM: viewing an email, paying an invoice, changing the value of fields in a form. When the specified action occurs, the trigger moves the CRM entity to another stage.

Standard trigger fields

All triggers in CRM have a few standard fields.

Trigger name. Change the default name if you are configuring several triggers. This way you can quickly find the desired trigger on the settings page.

Change stage as. There will be a record in the timeline and the CRM form history about a stage change on behalf of this user. By default, the trigger changes the stage on behalf of the employee responsible for the item, but you can select a different user.
