Use Dotdigital Marketing campaigns in trigger programs

Send Marketing triggered email campaigns based on events tracked in Personalization.

You can create trigger programs for any number of events that your Personalization script is configured to track. There are three standard trigger program templates automatically created in all new accounts for the following events:

  • Cart abandonment

  • Browse abandonment

  • Purchase completion

You can also choose to create additional, more customized, trigger programs.

For each trigger program, you can choose how many messages to send, as well as define the content of those messages. When your Personalization and Marketing accounts are connected, you can create and design triggered email campaigns in Marketing, and send these through a Personalization trigger program.
