A quick look at what the fields imply:‍

An example use case:

Assume a user “XYZ” is supposed to receive a notification asking to enter the opportunity lost reason, if the opportunity is lost after reaching the stages, Negotiation or proposal. So, in this case, you can enter the following details:

Name : Opportunity lost reason once the opportunity is moved from negotiation or proposal to closed lost.

Stages: Select the stages “” & “”

Lost Reason : Enter the salesforce field name which should capture the opportunity lost reason.

User Field: Select the user field which maps to the user details who should receive the dialog. In this case, it’ll be user XYZ.

Note that in case you just want to prompt the opportunity owner to enter the reason instead, you can use the recipe “” to setup your workflow.

Finally, click on create recipe & your workflow is all set to be used!

You can activate or deactivate your workflow anytime using the “active” switch in momentum home.
