Dynamic Close Date Setting Workflow
This workflow is primarily used for the automated management and adjustment of the "Close Date" field. It intelligently assesses the validity of the date format and dynamically sets the close date. If the format is correct, the original date remains unchanged; if the format is incorrect, it automatically postpones the date by three weeks, thereby ensuring data accuracy and timeliness. It is suitable for scenarios such as sales management and project progress tracking, effectively reducing manual intervention, improving time management efficiency, and preventing work delays caused by date issues.
