Triggers & Actions

8 min read

Understanding automation triggers and actions to build powerful automated workflows.

Available Triggers

Triggers start your automation workflows:

  • Form Submitted - When someone fills out a form
  • Page Visited - When specific page is viewed
  • Tag Added - When contact receives a tag
  • Product Purchased - After successful payment
  • Email Opened - When email is opened
  • Link Clicked - When link in email is clicked
  • Date/Time - On specific date or schedule

Available Actions

Actions are what happen when a trigger fires:

  • Send Email - Deliver an email
  • Send SMS - Send text message
  • Add/Remove Tag - Update contact tags
  • Update Field - Change contact data
  • Subscribe/Unsubscribe - Manage lists
  • Create Task - Add task for your team
  • Webhook - Send data to external system
  • Wait - Delay before next action

Conditional Logic

Use conditions to create branching workflows:

  • If contact has tag X → Send email A, Else → Send email B
  • If purchase amount > $100 → Add to VIP list
  • If email opened → Wait 2 days, Else → Send reminder

🎯 Best Practice

Combine triggers and actions strategically. Don't overwhelm contacts with too many emails - use conditions to segment and personalize!
