Communication Types
One-Time | You can send these messages either right away or schedule them for a future date and time that suits your strategy.
A segment defines the audience for one-time communications, allowing you to target precisely who receives your message based on specific criteria.
These are perfect for immediate needs or specific, time-sensitive announcements. |
Ongoing | Ideal for nurturing leads or maintaining engagement over time, ongoing communications are sent according to a schedule or trigger defined within a workflow or rule.
To set this up, you build your campaign and then integrate it as an action — "send communication" — within a workflow or rule.
The workflow not only determines the timing of each send but also specifies the audience, making it a powerful tool for automated, targeted communication strategies. |
