Key Facts About Actions

  • Actions must be added to a rule. They require defined timing and conditions to run.

  • You can add multiple actions to each rule. When a rule has multiple actions, you can determine the order in which the actions occur.

  • Each action can be assigned to multiple rules. This means the action would take place in response to a number of different customer behaviors or events.
