In this case, the task is to automate user account actions.

The next page has automation inputs such as user account rule, define period, field value rule, payment status and processor rules.

The user account rule selects users depending on the state of the account. The submission range field defines submission parameters before or after the given time period. The field value rule chooses submissions based on the field values on your form. The payment processor rule has a number of payment gateways to choose from. Selecting a particular gateway accepts those form submissions going through that particular payment processor. The payment status rule select users according to their payment status; only the submissions through selected payment status will be worked upon during automation.

Navigate to the third page by clicking next. You can see four options embedded with radio buttons. Choose any one of them.

As an example, we go ahead with the “Deactivate Account” option when user’s payment processor is PayPal.
