Introduction to Flow Rules

You will learn:

How to use flow's trigger rule settings in Plexins. For example, how to set the trigger frequency.

There are two types of trigger frequency settings:

a. Under the same trigger

b. Under the same process

Trigger Frequency Setting

I. Once the trigger frequency setting is configured, all triggers of the same type will share this frequency rule.
II. You can customize the maximum number of times a user can trigger the same trigger and the minimum time interval between two triggers.

For example:
Set up an automated marketing flow using the "Order Payment Successful" trigger. If the trigger is set to allow 2 triggers, the flow will not be triggered when the same user makes a successful purchase for the third time.

Trigger Process Frequency Setting

I. The trigger process frequency setting only applies to individual flows, which means each flow can have its own independent trigger frequency.
II. You can customize the maximum number of times a user can trigger the same flow and the minimum time interval between two triggers.

For example:
Set up an flow using the "Order Payment Successful" trigger from the Order Table. If the trigger is set to allow 2 triggers, and the flow is set to allow 1 trigger, the flow will not be triggered when the same user makes a successful purchase for the second time.
