Automation triggers explained
"Activation" is the condition for starting automation. With them, you can specify exactly how the contact will be added to automation so they can proceed to the next steps in your process. You can add multiple triggers so you can start automation in a variety of ways.
This section explains each trigger, including how they work and when you may want to use them. Understanding each trigger will give you more ideas to start automation.
