How to launch a trigger campaign

To start working with trigger email campaigns, open the "Campaigns" section in the general menu, then select "Triggers" and click "Create":

Step 1. General settings

Name your campaign and provide a brief description. Set access groups and add tags for quick search.

Step 2. Channel

Select the communication channel for your subscribers and click "Next".

Step 3. Recipients

Optionally, you can choose "Filter by subscription categories" or "Filter by custom channel fields":

You can choose not to configure any resource. In this case, the client will receive the message right after the event occurs, regardless of whether they were subscribed to any resource or not.

Step 4. Message templates

If you add multiple templates to one campaign, subscribers will randomly receive different messages.

If you want to preview how the template will look when received or edit it, open the message preview by clicking on the corresponding icon.

Step 5. Trigger

5.1. On this tab, you set the trigger condition, i.e. the event after which the email will be automatically sent to the subscriber.

5.2. If you want the message to be sent not immediately but in some time after the event, specify the delay time before sending (in days, hours, minutes).

The settings of your trigger campaign will be displayed in a new window:

If you want to continue configuring it, click on the edit icon in the top right corner.

Step 6. Newsletter limitations

Choose a sending policy to limit the number of messages sent to a subscriber during a certain period of time. For example, in the image, we have restricted sending more than two messages per day via one channel.

Step 7. Smart settings

Step 8. Starting the trigger campaign

You can launch a trigger campaign by clicking the "Active" switch in the general settings. The campaign will start as soon as you click the "Save" button. Triggered messages will start sending after the specified event occurs.

Another way to start a campaign is to activate it from the menu after having saved it. To do this, click on the appropriate icon.

Keep in mind that a trigger campaign will send a message only after the event you have specified, i.e. the trigger, occurs.
