3.2. Triggers
Trigger is an event that activates a campaign. Each type of triggers has its own set of parameters. Once triggered, the chain receives an array of customer profiles that satisfy the conditions set in the trigger.
Trigger example: a customer has placed an order. This trigger includes all customers who have made a purchase within a period set in the settings (by default, the receipt search depth is 3 days). Then the trigger is activated on a daily basis, i.e. every 24 hours.
Trigger editing
When a new campaign is created, there is a trigger in the field for editing. By default, it is the New order is placed trigger. To change the campaign trigger, double-click it with the left button of the mouse or click the right button and then select the Edit icon. Select a new trigger from the drop-down list and click Оk.
