--- ## **How to Configure** - **Select Trigger**: In the workflow builder, choose _Opportunity Created_ as your trigger. - **Assign a Trigger Name**: Give the trigger a meaningful name, such as “High Value Lead Opportunity Created.” - **Filters**: - **Assigned To**: Filter opportunities based on which user it’s assigned to. - **Pipeline**: Filter opportunities in specific pipelines. - **Lead Value**: Set criteria based on the opportunity’s monetary value. - **Tag:** Use Tag filters to include/exclude opportunities by tags.
