Trigger campaign for different gaming activity for global audience in different timezone

Create a trigger email campaign for gaming event

I need to create a trigger based email campaign for gaming user. For example:

If any user joins a clan, a trigger should be sent out.

If any user is inactive for 3 days, a trigger should go out.

If any user becomes a leader of a clan, a trigger email goes out.

What is the easiest way to apply logic to the flow in an email campaign?

(You should've been able to move the old thread, rather than creating a duplicate... though the forum software just changed so maybe not.)

 

Your requirement is the same as any other activity/inactivity setup.

 

The triggered activities are, well, triggered campaigns.

 

The inactivity detection you do by updating a DateTime field whenever there's activity. Then each day run a batch for people whose LastClanActivity is > 3 days ago.

I am new to community. Can you please clarify more for this :

"The inactivity detection you do by updating a DateTime field whenever there's activity. "

Trigger on the desired activity. The flow sets (Change Data Value)  a custom DateTime field to {{system.datetime}}.

 

(You could have people only qualify once a day for this particular Smart Campaign, since you only need full-day granularity, but start with Every Time so you're not confused, then maybe tune it down later.)

 

This is basic Marketo functionality - have you taken the intro University courses yet/looked at the docs?
