Noun MarketingTrigger

Description
The MarketingTrigger noun is used to model a marketing trigger. Marketing triggers are used to communicate with the marketing runtime that particular events have occurred (customer interaction points that start or continue a marketing activity), or that the marketing runtime should perform a specific action.
As a result of customer storefront behavior, the following marketing triggers are sent to the marketing runtime:

Send the occurrence of an event performed by the customer. Some examples are the customer logged on or the customer added a product to their shopping cart. The trigger starts or continues a marketing activity for the customer.

Record the occurrence of an event performed by the customer. Some examples are the customer logged on or the customer added a product to their shopping cart. The marketing runtime records the occurence of this trigger by the customer.

Inform the marketing runtime that the customer has clicked on an e-Marketing Spot.

Marketing triggers can be sent to the marketing runtime to perform the following administrative actions:

manage statistics
