Hi,

I HubSpot is there a way to to build a logic that sales rep can move the lead stage from Stage A to Stage E, only when they first move it to Stage B?

I want to make sure sales rep directly don’t make lead stage to the end stage we define. I know this can be done in Salesforce but in HubSpot can anyone suggest better way?

Also, is it ideal to have the above in lead object or on contact object?

Thanks

HI @ajinkyamurtey , You can set up some rules while creating deal stages. Check this out: [Set up rules for object pipelines](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/set-up-rules-for-deal-pipelines)  
Hope this helps!  
Thanks!

Hey @ajinkyamurtey

you can’t set this up for the Leads pipeline of the Prospecting tool

but you can do it for regular Deal Pipeines in the Rules section.

Hope this helps.

@ajinkyamurtey in hubspot you can move the deal stages through workflow fully automate process and change the deal stages through A to B and also you can make a required property checkbox helps that your sales rep only move the stages when a particular property is marked than your sales reps are move the deal stages to the next stages.

thank you
