Configuring Email Triggers

Email Triggers allow you to have messages sent based on a system event such as milestones in the enrollment process, workflow status updates, payment status updates.

Location: Admin Tab > Settings (navigation bar) > E-Mail Triggers

---

To start, from the navigation bar (drop-down menu) select the system event you wish the trigger to activate on. In the example above we are setting up triggers for when the client is approved in the enrollment process.
 

Example System Events

The following are examples of some common system events you may wish to setup email triggers for. We encourage you to explore the options available. We do periodically update and add or change some of the system events. If you are not able to locate the appropriate system event please feel free to email support for more information.
 

• Client Approved - Occurs when the appropriate user presses the "Approve File" link after a file has been submitted


• Client Cancel - Occurs after enrollment if a cancellation is processed for the client


• Client Enrolled - Occurs upon completion of enrollment by pressing the "COMPLETE ENROLLMENT" link. File may need to be submitted and approved based on your workflow. This is an ideal trigger for sending your welcome letter.


• Client Paused - Occurs when manually invoking the "Pause Payments" on a client


• Client Resumed - Occurs when manually invoking the "Resume Payments" on a client


• Client Returned - Occurs when the appropriate user presses the "Return / Reject File" link after a file has been submitted


• Client Submitted - Occurs when the sales rep or appropriate user presses the "Submit File" link on a contact.


• Document Uploaded - Occurs when the a file is uploaded and attached to the record
   
• E-Sign Completed - Occurs when an E-Sign request is returned completed
   
• E-Sign Declined - Occurs when an E-Sign request is declined
   
• E-Sign Email Opened - Occurs when an E-Sign request is sent and the email to the signer been opened. 
   
• Payment Cleared - Occurs when a payment is cleared (will not work when manually clearing payments)
   
• Payment Error - Occurs when a payment is not processed due to an error
   
• Payment Returned - Occurs when a payment is returned by your processor (will not work when manually marking a transaction returned). You want to use this to send internal and external notifications so that parties are informed immediately upon the transaction being returned. 
   
• Stage / Status Change - Occurs on updates to the contact's Workflow status. When selected a second menu will appear on the navigation bar to select a specific stage/status. (will not work if the status is updated using a mass edit)

1. File Type

 
Sets so the trigger will only occur if the contact is assigned as a specific File Type (i.e. Debt Settlement, Student Loan, Credit Repair, etc..). If your account only has one active File Type or the message you wish to send should go out regardless of File Type you can leave the options as "--Any--".

Reply To (optional)

The input field can be used to set so a reply to the message is sent to a different email address. You may use this in cases where the "From" option is a general email address like a company but wish the message to go to a different party with more specialties. You may wish to do this for trigger email setup on payment processing triggers. You may want a returned payment message to come from a general company email but replies to go straight to your billing department.
