Category & Labels Trigger
Single contact drip automation can be triggered when a policy category is added and when a label is added to a deal card.
Add Category
Whenever a policy category is added, the contact will receive an automated sequence of emails related to the new policy. You can set up a trigger for multiple categories at once.
To Add Category Trigger follow the steps mentioned below:
- Navigate to Pipeline manager>Settings> SCD Triggers
- Select Trigger as Add Category
- Select Categories you want to add
- Select the Drip (Campaign Name)
- Click Save Trigger.
USE CASE: When the deals are added to the deal board either manually or from a specific source like – website, Facebook etc, then all the deals will not have to have a similar messaging. They can be further custom based on the deal categories so Life quote SCD will be completely different from Home quotes.
Add label
Send out email or text messages when a new label or combination of labels is added. Suppose you set a trigger of drip named call sequence for the labels Hot and Call. Whenever these labels are added together, the call sequence will be activated for the contact.
The process to set up trigger is similar to add categories. In the Set Triggers for dashboard Personal Pipeline, Select Trigger as Add label, Select names under label and select the campaign from Select Drip. Click Save trigger to activate the campaign when the condition is met.
