With the trigger-based smart flow, you can automate your marketing and sales processes by incorporating various triggers and actions.You can set your trigger criteria to automatically enroll records like contacts, companies, deals, and activities into the flow. This allows you to take actions on primary or associated records (e.g., updating the contact linked to a deal) that are part of the flow.
