Estimates require multiple feedbacks and follow-ups. It is difficult to keep track of all the actions to be taken. With triggers in Apptivo, you can automatically design the course of action in the Estimates App. You can create an event as an action whenever an estimate is created, updated, or deleted. You can also create an event at a particular time.
