Configuring workflows 

Trigger  

1. Execute based on a record's action: Workflows can be triggered when records are:
   

1. Created.
   
2. Edited.
   
3. Created or edited.
   

1. Execute based on a date field's value: Workflows can be triggered based on the value of the selected date field. For example, you can create a task for the assigned user to follow up on a deal if it is inactive for longer than 15 days.

Condition 

1. Records matching certain conditions: The workflow will only apply to records that match a specific condition. For example, records whose mailing country is the UK.
   
2. All records: The workflow will apply to all the records in the module.

1. Use the AND operator if all the criteria you add must be true to trigger the workflow rule.
   
2. Use the OR operator if only one of your criteria must be true to trigger the workflow rule.
   
3. Use a combination of both AND and OR conditions to create your own logical expressions.
   

Actions 

1. Instant Actions: The action will be triggered immediately when the workflow is executed. Available instant actions are email notifications, creating tasks, updating fields, and adding or removing tags.
   
2. Scheduled Actions: The action will be triggered at a specified time interval after the workflow is executed. Available scheduled actions are email notifications, creating tasks, and updating fields.
