Rotting as an automation trigger

Rotting is a feature that has so much potential. But so hard to use.
Right now the only thing I can do with it is create a report of all deals that are rotting.
I would love the ability to set up workflow based on when a deal starts to rot. As simple as: If the deal is starting to rot, then send a Slack message to the deal owner.
It would bring a whole new level of accountability to our sales process.

Would really love to see this! @Reelika Virunurm any update on this topic? We could really use this at Metalshub! Right now we have to manually remind people about this and it takes lots of time.

Update about this request
We still can't automate based on rotting deals. It's still something we're looking into and it's not forgotten.
However, we have recently launched the delay step feature that helps with this issue.
Let's set up an example:
- your deals start to rot after 10 days
- Trigger: when a deal is updated (or added)
- Condition: deal is in stage x
- Delay for 10 days
- Condition: deal has not moved stages
- create action
This will not cover every case, but hope it helps with most of them.

I would also like to see the rotting feature become more useful. As far as I can tell, a deal is marked rotting only when the set number of days is reached. This isn't useful for me. I have long sales cycles, and it would be much better if a deal was rotting if a certain number of days had passed SINCE A SCHEDULED ACTION. This would help me stay on top of my deliverables. Just as one example, if a prospect says, "now isn't the time, but reach out in July, when we do our budgeting," I would love to be able to set a task many months in the future, and not have it be rotting until something's past due.

Any news on this?
Looking forward to having this implemented so I don't have to extract reports everytime.
