Use Event Fields in Programs

Overview

Users can create Event Fields as part of a Program. The created Event fields can be used only as conditions within the Conditional Wait step to determine how the Program journey progresses.

Some of the benefits of Event Fields in Conditional Wait feature are:

• The decision of a customer’s path can be taken based on real-time events data.
• Better personalization of emails.
• Take action based on the customer’s current data.

Event Fields can be added at the following places in the Program configuration:

• Participant Configuration
• Conditional Wait Configuration

Note: Currently, admins can add up to a maximum of 10 Event Fields. If they need to add more than 10 fields, raise a request to support@gainsight.com.

3. Select the Event Fields from the drop-down menu.
4. Select either the event is True by selecting the checkbox adjacent to the event or False by not selecting the checkbox.

Note: You can also use the Advanced Logic (“AND” or “OR”) between the selected multiple Event Fields.

5. Click SAVE.
