Send triggered emails

When a subscriber joins a group
Use this trigger to send automatic, targeted emails to subscribers in specific email lists. Excellent for welcome emails, lead magnets, and webinar or event emails.
When a subscriber completes a form
Strike while the iron is hot and send an automated email as soon as the subscriber completes a form. Great for onboarding new customers and lead nurturing.
When a subscriber clicks a link
Trigger a specific action when a subscriber clicks a link in one of your emails. Use this trigger to send automated emails, or instantly add subscribers to a group based on their interest.
Updated field
Activate a workflow when a custom field in the subscriber profile is updated. A field could be updated by a signup form, email survey or manually from your dashboard.
The anniversary of a date
Collect subscribers' birthdays, wedding dates and other important life events to automate highly customized email messages to celebrate their anniversaries every year.
The exact match of a date
Trigger your email automation on the exact match of the date in a subscriber field. This comes in handy for automated newsletter subscription or free trial related emails.
