Trigger Links Overview
Trigger links are a great way to pivot off a "click" within an SMS or Email. When a trigger link is clicked, the system will attribute the click to the contacts' activity timeline and trigger a predetermined action within a workflow.
Only available in SMS and Emails.
Use Cases for Trigger Links
Creating a follow up list of interested contacts
Make your Call to Action a trigger link and you will know who exactly clicked the CTA. You may email yourself every time someone clicks the link or create a task list of follow up activities.
One-click registration for an event
When the contact is already in your email, you may use a trigger link to register them for an event when they clink it instead of having them fill out a form.
Create a Trigger Link
- Go to Marketing >> Trigger Links
- Click the Add Link Button
