📋 What’s about
Triggers are rules invoked when there is an incoming call, mail, chat, SMS, fax or openchannel message. Triggers are made up of conditions and actions. A condition is a logical expression that can only take the values true or false. You build conditions using properties of the event, an operator and the event value. The following is an example of a condition for an incoming call:
Call Status Equals Call Ringing
which takes the value true if the status of the call is equal to ringing. In the same way, you can define conditions based on the properties of incoming mail, chat....and so on. For more information, take a look at the trigger conditions section dedicated to the specific channel.
An action is an operation executed when the defined conditions are evaluated to True. An action can be opening the Phonebar screen popup, opening CM contact, forwarding incoming email, open a Zendesk ticket and more. Please take a look at the trigger actions section dedicated to the specific channel since the type of action you can execute depend on the type of channel.
