WHAT BEHAVIOUR TRIGGERS EXIST

Subscribing Purchasing Abandoning a cart Clicking a particular link Viewing a particular page, where tracking supports it Not opening for a period

WHY THEY WORK

The message arrives when the person is already thinking about the subject, rather than when your calendar says so.

That timing is worth more than any subject line.

THE PRACTICAL ONES FOR A SMALL BUSINESS

Welcome on subscribing Review request after purchase Cart recovery on abandonment Re-engagement after inactivity

Four automations, each written once, running indefinitely.

CLICK-BASED TRIGGERS

If someone clicks a link about a particular product or service, a follow-up on that subject is relevant.

Useful when you sell distinct things.

WHAT TO AVOID

Triggers so specific that they fire rarely, taking effort to build for almost no send volume.

And anything that reveals tracking in a way that unsettles people.

TESTING

Trigger each one yourself and confirm it arrives correctly.

Untested automations that silently fail are common.
