Field

Description

Action Type

Displays the type of action that this is. This is specified when the action is created and cannot be modified after it has first been saved.

Name

The name that has been given to this action to differentiate it from other actions of the same type.

Try to use a name that describes the function of the action. For example, Send Brochure via Email.

Timing

An action can either be executed immediately when it is processed or after a specified delay.

Txt Service Response Action - Timing

You specify the number of days delay and the time at which to execute the action.

Process

The process list on the Details tab of a Response Action determines when an action should be processed and when it shouldn't.

The response's status of Ordered or Requested is checked to see if the action should run. The following table details the five options:

  • On Every Order - This action will run everytime this Contact makes a new order.
  • On First Order - This action will run the first time this Contact makes an order on this Txt Service.
  • On First Request - This action will run the first time this Contact makes a request on this Txt Service.
  • On Every Request - This action will run everytime this Contact makes a new request.
  • On First Request or Every Order - This action will run the first time this Contact makes a request and every time they make an order on this Txt Service.

Conditions

The Conditions tab of a Response Action window allows you to define the conditions under which this action will execute.

If no conditions are defined then, subject to the process order, this condition will always execute when a response or order is received from a contact.

Txt Service Response Action conditions work in a similar fashion to Filter Criteria. One or more conditions can be defined to limit the circumstances under which this action will be executed.

There are two types of criteria or conditions that can be added to an action

Condition

Example usage

Txt Service Dispatch Targeting

Send an email only if we have a valid email address for the Contact.

Keyword Targeting

Send a 50% off coupon in the mail to half price to those that responded with the keyword HALFPRICE.

It is important to note that process always takes precedence over conditions when evaluating if this action should be executed or not. If, according to the process setting, this action should not be executed then the conditions will not even be checked.
