Use a Link Trigger to start an action when a subscriber clicks a link

A Link Trigger is a link that's also set up to automatically trigger a particular action, like adding Tags, subscribing them to Sequences, and much more, as soon as a subscriber clicks on it. Learn more about creating and using Link Triggers.

The use cases of Link Triggers are limitless, but here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Automatically enroll subscribers in a Sequence: Add subscribers to a Sequence (like a free email course) when they click on a link to indicate interest
  • Kick off an abandoned cart Visual Automation: Tag a subscriber when they click on a product link, and use this tag event to kick off an abandoned cart Visual Automation encouraging them to buy if they don't purchase that same day.
  • Set a custom field: If a subscriber clicks on an article about a certain topic, you can set a custom field to track their interest. Then use this custom field to personalize future emails to improve your clickthrough rate.

Track your subscribers’ journeys with attribution data
