Let’s say you’re a call center and one of your agents has called a lead. Judging from the conversation, you believe the lead is interested in the product/service you’re selling, but would like to know more. Converting the lead is your final aim, but there are steps you need to take, tasks to be carried out before you convert that lead. Creating a workflow is the best way to manage all your leads. Below is how you can create manual re-usable action sets:

Go to Workflows and on the drop-down menu click Manage Workflows.

Go to the upper-right corner of the screen and click New.

Choose Lead as your workflow entity type.

Give it a name, write a description, choose a category (optional) and then click the Launch Workflow builder button.

As your workflow source, choose Manual.

Give it a name, choose When Triggered, set 5 points and then click Add.
