Note:
- In the trial version of Zoho Campaigns, you can create both basic and advanced workflows.
- If you created an advanced workflow during the trial period but purchased the Standard plan after the trial expiry, you won’t be able to use or modify that workflow unless you upgrade to the Professional plan.
