Sending texts or emails to your leads is a great way to engage with them, and it is the most convenient and efficient way of sending urgent information and updates to your leads. You can also use text and email communication in the system to send notifications to yourself. This allows you to set ‘alerts’ when specific trigger actions occur, allowing you to stay up-to-date with important information on your system, your leads, and your customers.
For example, you may want to be notified when a two-step order form is submitted, an appointment is booked, or a contact Unsubscribes from your communication. These are just a few examples of the many trigger actions you can create an email or SMS self-notification for.

- Add a Trigger
- Select Desired Trigger Action (Part 1) and add Filter (optional).

- For example: Choose ‘Send Email’ → Fill out the Form.
