When grading is complete, start a related prospect search for your course or program using criteria you specify.
Trigger

Action
Create Lead Finder Search
Tool to create a new Lead Finder search to discover leads based on company and people criteria. Use when you need to find prospects matching specific job titles, departments, seniority, company size, industry, or technology stack.
Why this helps
Industry research for a course or program often slips behind grading and other founder responsibilities.
- Tie a research task to a clear grading milestone.
- Use your own target industries, roles, and company criteria.
- Keep prospect discovery separate from student records.

Questions about this workflow
Will grades or student identities be used as prospect data?
No. The search should be based on course or program context and criteria you provide, not student identities, submissions, or grades.
Can this identify people at particular companies?
