# Nudge stalled deals automatically
> Set up the Sleeping deal notification so partners are automatically reminded when a deal sits too long in a stage, keeping your pipeline moving.
Deals stall when they sit too long in the same stage. The **Sleeping deal** notification keeps partners accountable by automatically emailing them when a deal has been inactive in a stage longer than you allow, prompting action before momentum is lost. This guide sets it up on a deal pipeline in your partner portal so the reminders run on their own.
## What you'll achieve
An automatic reminder that reaches partners when a deal has sat in a stage past the number of days you define, so partners act before deals go cold, your pipeline keeps moving, and your forecast reflects reality, with no manual chasing.
## Before you start
The Sleeping deal notification is configured on a deal pipeline section in a partner portal experience. See [Set up a shared pipeline](/features/co-selling/shared-pipelines/guides/set-up-a-shared-pipeline).
Plan how many days a deal may sit in each stage. A good pattern is shorter limits in early qualification stages to keep momentum, and longer limits in later stages like negotiation.
## Watch it
## Steps
Go to [Experiences](https://app.introw.io/templates), open the experience with your deal pipeline, and on the deal pipeline section select **Configure**. This opens the section's settings, where notifications for the pipeline live.
Select **Notifications**, then the gear icon next to **Sleeping deal**. This is the automatic reminder for deals that go inactive.
Define the conditions and the number of days a deal can remain within a stage (or stages) before the partner is notified. Use shorter windows for early stages and longer ones for later stages, so the nudge matches how long each stage should realistically take.
Select **Save**. From now on, when a deal exceeds your threshold in a stage, Introw automatically emails the partner to prompt action.
## Verify it worked
The **Sleeping deal** notification shows as configured on the pipeline section with your day thresholds. When a deal sits in a stage past the limit, the responsible partner receives the sleeping-deal reminder email, and the deal reappears in their attention without anyone sending a manual status chase.
