An introduction to trigger programs

Trigger programs control which real-time messages get sent and when.

Updated over 9 months ago

When you join Fresh Relevance, we create default cart abandonment, browse abandonment and purchase complete programs for you. You can edit or delete these programs, and you can add more programs. For example, you might want to send different messages to different types of shopper, or create a program that sends a sequence of two or three reminders after an abandonment event.


Types of trigger program

  • Cart abandon
    Sends messages to any shopper who abandons a shopping cart that's not empty.

  • Browse abandon
    Sends messages to any shopper who abandons their browsing session, after viewing products but not adding anything to their cart.

  • Purchase complete

    Sends follow-up messages to each buyer.

  • Custom trigger
    Sends follow-up messages to each shopper based on a customizable event, for example, filling in a form.

  • Using custom triggers to add visitors to an email marketing list.
    Adds a visitor’s email address to a list in your Email Service Provider (ESP) when a customizable event occurs, for example, filling in a popup subscribe form.

  • Price drop trigger
    Sends follow-up messages to any shopper who has browsed a product which has then dropped in price.

  • Back in stock trigger
    Sends follow-up messages to each shopper who has browsed an out-of-stock product which has then come back into stock.


Messaging channels

Trigger programs can deliver messages using any messaging channels that are included in your subscription package, for example:

  • Email

  • SMS

Each messaging channel can be set up separately, and you can send messages using a mixture of channels in the same program.

For example, you could set up a cart abandonment trigger program to send:

  • First reminder message after 15 minutes by SMS

  • Second message after 1 hour by email

  • Third message after 24 hours by email

  • Fourth message after 3 days by SMS
