2. **Configure and Save:**

* **Enter a Title:** Give the automation a descriptive name.
* **Set up a Trigger:** Choose a trigger of your preference.
* **Configure the Condition:** It is possible to use the condition “Opportunity time in stage…”

> But note: without using triggers, it will be necessary to enable condition checks. These checks will occur at varying time intervals, which can range from minutes to hours, depending on the number of automations and leads in your instance.

* **Choose the Action:** Wait.
* **Choose the Action:** Change the opportunity pipeline/stage
* **Configure** the Action.
* **Describe** exactly what the action will do.
* **Save the Automation:** After configuring, save the automation.
