Pipeline automation provides the ability to automate key steps in your pipeline process. You can keep your leads moving through your sales process by configuring automation that triggers when a new lead enters or exits a stage. 

Pro-Tip! Automations created with a Deal enters stage trigger, will not only trigger when moving a deal manually from one stage to another, but also whenever a deal is created it's considered to be 'Entering' the selected starting stage, and therefore the automation will trigger.
