What is a Email Trigger
A Email trigger is invoked every time there is an outgoing or incoming interaction.
The trigger will execute its actions if the defined conditions are met. Here are few applications of Email triggers:
- displaying Screen Pop-up that provides value added information
- opening custom browser web pages
- integrate with other 3rd party applications like your own CRM
Email triggers are composed of conditions and actions. This section explains how to build conditions and the available actions for the Email channel.
Email trigger conditions
A condition for the Email channel is constructed by using properties like Account, Interaction or Message, an operator and a value.
There are two types of conditions:
- Meet all these conditions: the overall condition will be true only if all the conditions are true.
- Meet any of these conditions: the overall condition will be true if at least one of the conditions is true.
It is possible to specify more complex conditions by using both types: in this case, the result is true if both conditions are true.
In the example shown below, the overall condition is true if the call is in Support or Sales queue and the call is answered.
The condition will always return true if you do not define any condition. In this case, the specified actions will always be executed.
You can use the following fields and operators to build condition statements:
|
Fields |
Operators |
Values |
|---|---|---|
| Account |
Equals to Not equals to |
|
| Interaction |
Equals to Not equals to |
|
| Message |
Equals to Not equals to |

Email trigger actions
Email trigger actions are functions executed when the defined Email trigger conditions are true.
The following are the actions that can be triggered:
- Motion (Phone)Bar
- Jscripty
- URL Forward
- Browser
Custom variables must be defined under Tools → Variables then you can set the values in the dialplan or in IVR project.
Motion Phonebar
Motion Phonebar action is used to notify the Omnichannel Motion Phonebar to perform actions like:
- screen Popup display
- Windows Application execution
- CTI URL open in a web browser
Popup
Popup action is used to display a customizable screen popup for agents logged in the Phonebar.
You must previously create a template (Tools → Templates) with information you want to be displayed for agents.
You can also use standard and custom variables in your template to customize the displayed content based on the values of the variables set during the call flow.
CTI URL
CTI URL action is used to open a specified URL in a browser New Tab or New Window (Location).
It can be used to open a website, your custom CRM url or integrate with any other web application.
You can use standard or custom variables in the URL query string to pass information to the web application that can be useful for processing its logic:
- If the Event Variables field is set to Yes, the string in the URL field is merged with all the available interaction type values (pay attention that it add to the URL string the complete variables list: it is not recommended unless for evaluation purposes).
- If the Event Variables field is set to No (suggested value), only the variables inserted in the URL field are used.
In the following example, variables in bold are Motion standard variables and those red are custom variables:
http://ip-address/cti/index.html?CALLID={{uniqueid}}&CALLER={{calleridnum}}&QUEUE={{queue}}&ORDER={{ORDERNUM}}&STATUS={{ORDERSTAT}}
Tip: remember to set the Event Variables to No

You can use standard or custom variables to pass custom information in the arguments.

URL Forward

Information about the call will be passed as POST parameters or URL query parameters, depending on which HTTP method you've configured.
You can also use Motion standard variables or custom variables to pass information to the 3rd party application.
Browser
Browser action is used to display screen popup or open a URL in a web browser for agents logged in the web interface.
