Triggers: Automate Actions Based on Contact Activity

Streamline your sales process using triggers

Written by Premsanth Rajamani

Triggers automate actions based on how contacts engage — an email open, a click, a reply — so you don't have to react to every event manually.

👉 How a trigger works

Every trigger has three parts, in order: event → conditions → action.

  • Event — the activity that causes the trigger to evaluate, e.g. an email delivered or a link clicked.

  • Conditions — the rules that must be met for the trigger to run, e.g. a specific email address, a number of opens, or a reply.

  • Action — what happens once the event fires and conditions are met, e.g. completing a sequence for the contact.

👉 Create a trigger

  1. Open Settings → Account Settings → Triggers.

  2. Click New trigger and name it.

  3. Select a trigger owner (Shared or a specific teammate).

  4. Choose the event that should initiate the trigger. Enable Trigger only once per contact if you want it to fire once per contact.

  5. Add one or more conditions — select a field, choose a comparison (equals, not equals, contains), and enter a value.

  6. Select the action(s) to perform when conditions are met, and configure each one.

  7. Click Save.

Once saved, the trigger runs based on its activation status.
