Campaign that speaks to your audience at the occurrence of a particular event.
In a triggered campaign, messages are automatically sent based on specific user actions or predefined events. Instead of sending messages to all users at the same time, a triggered campaign responds to individual user behavior's or events, triggering the delivery of targeted and personalized content.
Use Case
Imagine a user was added to Hubspot. He/she receives an automatic Welcome message, offering a discount on the first purchase.
This message was triggered by the action of user being created in Hubspot. (Event)
That's a triggered campaign – a message sent responding to a specific action.
Before we start with the steps to create a trigger campaign; two notable points are:
You need to have a pre-defined user action, i.e. a event upon occurrence of which the campaign gets triggered. In case you don't, create a event here.
Chatman offers a set of pre-defined events while allowing you to create you own custom event.

Create a Triggered Campaign
Suppose you're into e-commerce business and want to automatically sent welcome message that offer 20% discount instantly to all the customer created in Hubspot.
Start by giving a relevant name to your campaign. This helps in identifying and tracking different campaigns easily.
We can name our campaign as New Hubspot User, based on the scenario above.

Delivery Time:
Decide when to deliver your campaign. It has two options immediately and wait and then send.
Immediately
Choose immediately when you want to start the campaign as soon as you launch it.
Wait and then send
If you choose Wait, select the delay time after contact creation when the campaign is to be sent. You can select minutes, hours and days while simultaneously entering the value in the box.
Timezone: Select whether to deliver the message in the user's time zone or the project's time zone.
User's Time Zone: The campaign gets launched as per the user's time zone. Say you have a customer from the USA, you have set the campaign launch date and time as 12:00 pm, 03.02.24 . So, the customer will receive the campaign when in the USA the time reaches as specified and not as per your location.
Project's Time Zone: The campaign launch date and time will depend on your location.
End Campaign: Select the date and time when the campaign is to be ended.
In above specified scenario we want the campaign to get launched instantly as a customer is added to the hubspot, so we select Immediately.
insert
Choose Message Template
Select the message template that your recipients will receive. Choose from a dropdown list of pre-made templates.
Set Attributes
Set attributes that will replace the dynamic field {{ }} available in your header or body of the template. For, e.g., for personalization, you can replace it with the customer's first name, for the same select user attribute>first name.
Here is what all the attributes means:
The Set attribute option is available only when the selected template has dynamic variables in it.
We created a template called 'welcome_hubspot_customer,' so we select it and set the attributes as first name for both the header and body.
insert
Post Campaign Trigger (Optional):
Optionally, set up post-campaign triggers to update attributes, manage segments, and implement a "Do Not Disturb" (DND) policy based on the selected event. Use conditional logic based on events such as sent, delivered, read, failed, or replied.
Different Event Condition
Notification Send
Sent: Trigger the action when the notification is sent to the user.
Delivered: Trigger the action when the notification is successfully delivered to the user's device.
Read: Trigger the action when the user has read the notification.
Failed: Trigger the action when the delivery of the notification fails.
Notification Replied
Button Reply: Trigger the action when the user replies using predefined buttons (buttons in template are entered as value).
Text Reply: Trigger the action when the user replies with free-text input.
Let's say we want to assign tag 'discount enthusiast' to all the customers who tap 'Grab Code' button in the template.
So we select Notification reply>Button reply and enter the value as Grab Code.
You can add maximum two filter, one from each notification send and notification reply.
You can add multiple 'Post campaign trigger' by clicking 'add another event' and repeating the steps to create the 'post campaign trigger.'
