Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a marketing automation trigger?

    A marketing automation trigger is an automation that starts moving after specific actions have happened. Triggers can be activated from form sign-ups, watching specific videos, or clicking on certain links. From there marketing automation takes over and does the rest.

  • What are marketing actions?

    Actions in marketing automations are the specific actions that users do to set off an automation. Actions can be simple things like viewing a product or clicking a link, or more advanced like directly reaching out or adding products to their cart.

  • What are marketing goals?

    Goals in marketing automation are where you want your leads to be at specific times. Perhaps someone submits a lead form after finding your site organically, your automation workflow will then move that lead through a specific funnel that will eventually reach their goal, like a sale or signing up for an event.
