Trigger Action Settings
Overview
Triggered Actions are a type of Rule within the Loyalty platform. Triggered Actions are used to monitor changes to a Loyalty Member, and to execute a specific action when a specific condition is satisfied.
The Triggered Action Settings screen is used to create and manage Trigger Groups. Triggered Actions are typically organized into these Trigger Groups, which are used to control which Triggered Actions are executed. The platform supports two different types, or "strategies," of Trigger Groups:
-
Execute only first applicable rule: Once a Triggered Action in this Trigger Group is executed, all other Triggered Actions are skipped. For example, if you're using Triggered Actions to send messages, you could put them in the same Trigger Group to avoid sending multiple messages to the same Member.
-
Execute all applicable rules: All Triggered Actions in this Trigger Group are executed.
Note: Triggered Actions that execute within one Group have no impact on Actions in another Group.
Access
To access the Triggered Actions Settings screen, select Rules from the Main Navigation Menu, then select Settings > Triggered Action Settings from the Sub-Category menu.
