How Do I Configure the Retargeting Lead Workflow?

IN BRIEF 
The Retargeting Lead workflow automatically follows up with leads who enter the “retargeting” stage, helping re-engage prospects who may not have converted initially.

Overview

The Retargeting Lead workflow is designed to re-engage leads who have moved into the “retargeting” stage by sending a follow-up communication after a defined delay. This helps maintain engagement and increases the likelihood of conversion.

  • Workflow type: Lead-driven
  • Trigger: A lead enters the “retargeting” stage
  • Purpose: Automatically send a re-engagement message to leads requiring follow-up

This workflow supports consistent outreach efforts without requiring manual intervention, ensuring that leads are not overlooked during the sales process.
