What is a Trigger?
Triggers are how you start or end an automation.
For example:
- If you want to start an automation if your student doesn't log in in over X days or weeks, use the No Login trigger
- To start an automation if your student earns a certain amount of XPs, use the XPs Earned trigger
- To catch if your student completes a specific module, use the Module Completed trigger
- Or when a student completes a course, use the Course Completed trigger
NOTE: If you change a trigger AFTER that trigger has already fired for a student -- it won't change the experience for that student. It will only change the Experience for new students, going forward
Example:
- A Trigger is fired when a student is added to the course
- The Trigger starts a series of email automations
- If you CHANGE that trigger - it WON'T change the series of emails for students already in the course (because the trigger has already fired).
- It will only change the Experience for NEW students added, going forward
Core Triggers
We currently offer the following triggers on ALL plans:
- Added to Course: Identifies when your student first joins the course, so you can welcome them with an Email or SMS message.
- First Login: Identifies that important moment when the student first logs in. This is usually used to trigger a Celebration. (NOTE: If a student purchases through XP's Order Form, then they'll be automatically taken straight into their course.... which means that First Login will happen immediately following Added to Course)
- Last Login: Detects when a student logs back in after a set amount of time since their last login. This is usually used to trigger a "Welcome Back" Message or Celebration.
- No Login: Identifies students who haven't logged in for a certain period of time, allowing you to reach out automatically with an email or SMS.
- Earned Points: Identifies students the moment they earn a certain amount of XPs or XXPs.
- Training Available: Catches when a new training gets released.
- Training Completed: Identify students the moment they complete a specific training.
- Module Completed: Identify students the moment they complete a specific module.
- Course Completed: Identify students the moment they complete a specific course.
- Goal Completed: Reward your students when they reach their goals!
