Add a Trigger Event

Trigger events determine when a trigger should take action. The event for this trigger should be "Prospect Updated" so the trigger attempts to take action once a new prospect's information is updated in Outreach.

Create Prospect Conditions:

These are the field conditions that need to be met before the trigger takes action on a prospect. See the conditions grouped together below that denote the Title field must contain either "Director", "VP" or "CEO" and the Company Size must be greater than "50".

Add Trigger Actions:

This is the action the trigger finally takes once the event and conditions are met. In this case, the trigger will automatically add newly created prospects to the "Tier 1- C Level" sequence if they satisfy the trigger conditions.
