Trigger-Based Messaging

is the practice of sending automated communications to customers at precisely the moment when a specific event or condition occurs — rather than at a predetermined schedule. Unlike batch email blasts sent to all subscribers on the same day, trigger-based messages are highly contextual and relevant because they respond to each individual customer's specific actions or life events. Common triggers in ConnectGain include new contact creation, chatbot conversation completion, deal stage advancement, appointment booking confirmation, missed appointment detection, payment failure, order shipment, contract expiration, and customer anniversary dates. Because trigger-based messages are received in the context of a relevant recent event, they typically achieve engagement rates 2 to 5 times higher than equivalent non-triggered broadcast messages.
