This leads to better organization of sales pipelines and improved accuracy in tracking and analyzing sales progress.
To use this feature, navigate to the Automation > Workflows section in your account and opt to create a new workflow, or click an existing workflow to open its builder. Add the relevant trigger(s), then click the plus icon to add a new workflow action.

Opportunity To Be Found #
This setting determines which opportunities should be removed when the Remove Opportunity action runs. The options available are:
- All Contact Opportunities in the Selected Pipeline: This removes every opportunity linked to the contact within the specified pipeline.
- Opportunity Found or Triggered in this Workflow: This removes only the specific opportunity that either triggered the workflow or was identified in a previous step.
This flexibility ensures more precise opportunity management, allowing for targeted removal instead of deleting all opportunities.
