What’s about
An Email trigger is invoked every time there is an outgoing or incoming interaction.
The trigger will execute its actions if the defined conditions are met. Here are a few applications of Email triggers:
displaying Screen Pop-up that provides value-added information
opening custom browser web pagesÂ
integrate with other 3rd party applications like your own CRM
Email triggers are composed of conditions and actions. This section explains how to build conditions and the available actions for the Email channel.
Email trigger conditions
A condition for the Email channel is constructed by using properties like Account, Interaction or Message, an operator and a value. Â
There are two types of conditions:Â
Meet all these conditions: the overall condition will be true only if all the conditions are true.
Meet any of these conditions: the overall condition will be true if at least one of the conditions is true.Â
It is possible to specify more complex conditions by using both types: in this case, the result is true if both conditions are true.
In the example shown below, the overall condition is true if the call is in Support or Sales queue and the call is answered.
Important:
The condition will always return true if you do not define any condition. In this case, the specified actions will always be executed.
You can use the following fields and operators to build condition statements:
Fields | Operators | Values |
|---|---|---|
Account | Equals to Not equals to |
|
Interaction | Equals to Not equals to |
|
Message | Equals to Not equals to |
|
SubStatus  | Equals to Not equals to | Values entered into Email→ Email Sub Statuses |
Email trigger actions
Email trigger actions are functions executed when the defined Email trigger conditions are true.
The following are the actions that can be triggered:

If the Event Variables field is set to Yes, the string in the URL field is merged with all the available interaction type values (pay attention that it add to the URL string the complete variables list: it is not recommended unless for evaluation purposes).
