Creating rules on events
Definition
Rules enable marketers to use any event captured on the platform to trigger an action. A rule is made of:
- An event to define when the rule will be triggered
- An optional filter to apply the rule only to specific profiles
- One or more actions, which define what occurs when the rule is triggered
Events ("When")
Each rule is associated to one event. If you want to trigger an action from two different events, you'll need to create two rules. Here are the types of events that can be used to trigger an action :
- Visitor reaches a score
Choose a scoring plan and define the threshold. When a visitor reaches this threshold, the actions will be triggered - Visitor fulfilled a goal
The actions that trigger when the visitor fulfills the goal that you selected - Visitor session starts
The actions that trigger when the visitor's session starts. - Visitor logs in
The actions that trigger when the visitor logs in.
Filter ("Who")
By default, all visitors triggering the event will go through the rule; but it is also possible to filter the profiles on which the actions will be applied.
- Apply to all visitors
The rule will apply to all profiles - Apply to a specific segment
The rule will only apply to the selected segment
Actions ("What")
The actions actually define what will be done to the profiles triggering the event. It is possible to select several actions per rule.
It is possible for developers to create new rules that will be easily made available in this user interface. If you're a developer, read the integration guide to have more information.
- Set profile/session property
Use this action to update any session or profile property. When selecting a profile property of date type, you can set the property to the current date. - Send email
Use this action to send an email when the rule is triggered.
