Automation Steps: Goals

Goals Overview

Goals are similar to Triggers. With goals, your Automation will wait until something happens and won't continue down the path immediately, like when using a Condition.

The record will be assessed as Goal Met or Goal Not Met, when they reach the Goal Step in your Automation. When reaching the Goal Step, the automation will only go down one path. You can always setup a second Goal if multiple need to be met. 

Types of Goals

There are various goal types that can be selected in the Goal Step. 

Activities

Activity Logged - When a particular activity is logged (or not logged) the automation will continue. 

  1. Choose Activity

A common example of using activity logged goal steps is a sales team member logging a Call Activity,  If they don't log a call activity with a prospect within a certain timeframe, the sales team member (or their manager) can be notified.
