Wait until deal stage advances (14-day expiry), else nudge owner

Deal hygieneDealSales Hub ProfessionalIntermediate~30 min to buildFull spec

Outcome. A deal that does not advance out of a target stage within 14 days gets an owner nudge automatically, using an event-based wait instead of a fixed delay, so the reminder only fires when it is actually needed.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it for a specific stage where reps commonly get stuck (demo scheduled, proposal sent) and a fixed delay-based reminder feels premature when the deal actually moved on time.
  • UseUse it as the event-driven alternative to deal-hygiene-001 when the trigger you care about is a stage change, not general activity.
  • SkipDo not use it for stages that are supposed to sit for a while (legal review, procurement), the 14-day expiry will fire false alarms there.
  • SkipDo not use it on a pipeline with more than one target stage without cloning the workflow per stage, mixing stages into one enrollment filter makes the wait condition ambiguous.
