The trigger system in Yabber is detailed in an FAQ titled "How To Create Marketing Triggers". It details how to create email, website, webpage, video and range of other triggers within your marketing funnel. Yabber - supported by a conditional framework that is ridiculously powerful - might be considered a Trigger-focused marketing system since each and every user action has some sort of reaction, and a trigger allows you to respond to user behaviour of any type with an equal, relevant, and persuasive response. Triggers are the backbone of a marketing funnel, and despite the mediocre messaging from those that don't have access to advanced systems, triggers absolutely don't end with email.
Yabber currently includes around 40 triggers systems of some type, and most of them are managed via centralised Trigger module. However, there are child modules, such as modals, that don't require the bells and whistles, so we instead apply basic trigger options. This FAQ will introduce how the modal triggers are created and used.
The system works by responding to an action when a known user interacts with a modal of some type and in a particular manner. Any and all user interactions must be tracked - you know this... but your competitors don't, so you have a very clear marketing and user experience advantage.
Locating the Modal Module
The modal module is in the 'Information' module. Select the small 'info' icon in the Website module, then select 'Modals'. The panel returned defaults to the 'Create' panel. Select 'Triggers' from the submenu or via the small lower navigation panel.

From this panel you may alter the email options for a user, send them a text message, or send them an email from your admin email library.
Reviewing Triggers and Modal Statistics
You may review modal triggers via the 'Review' panel. Use the small green toggle to switch triggers off (as we have done, we don't want to be sending lots of nonsensical communication to users), and you may review trigger details by selecting the green icon associated with the record.
The 'Statistics' panel provides insight into modal usage and applied triggers.
Selected Availability
This feature was previously a Platinum feature. While we've made it globally available, the functionality is predicated on a more recent website framework. If you encounter errors of any type, make contact with us and we'll come to a solution that'll enable the module.
