Would it possible to start an automation when a contact is added to a segment?
Hi @stbauer, I’m working with the team to get an answer for you shortly. Thank you for your patience!
Hi again!
Being added to a segment will not work to trigger an automation. The trigger will have to specify a certain condition to bring contacts in: (Subscribes to list, filled out form, tag is added, etc). From there, you can add the segment so only contacts that meet the segment condition will remain in the automation.
This is an example of a Segmented start trigger: https://screen.ac/OAunKoPN]. In this example, the trigger is “Subscribes to list” but the segment is “Tag exists: test”. This means that only contacts who subscribe to the Master List and have the test tag will proceed through the automation.
I hope this helps!
Clear - Build first the segment and that will activates your automation - clear!
