Who This Is For / When to Use

Use this trigger if your account collects prospects through the Prospecting Tool or embedded widgets and you want automation to run immediately when a prospect is generated.

What the Prospect Generated Trigger Does

The Prospect Generated trigger fires each time a new prospect is created in the account.

Supported sources include:

  • In-App (manually created prospects)

  • Widget (prospects created via embedded widgets)

When triggered, the prospect enters the workflow and proceeds through the actions you configure.

  3. Select Start from Scratch.

Step 2: Add the Trigger

  1. Click Add New Trigger.

  2. Search for and select Prospect Generated.

Step 3: Configure Trigger Filters

Once triggered, the workflow can perform any supported action, including:

  • Send email or SMS

  • Create contact automatically

  • Assign tags

  • Export prospect data

  • Update contact or prospect fields

The workflow runs automatically once it is published and active.
