Goals - Note Applied

This article applies to:
 

A note template is used to record a personal interaction or event related to an individual contact record. Note templates save time by reducing or eliminating manual follow-up changes. Note templates can also be used to initiate automation with Note Template Goals.

Users can manually add notes to a contact history to document specific interactions such as a phone call, appointment, or meeting. 

  • Notes include a date stamp and a description of the interaction. 
  • Interactions can satisfy a goal in an automation. 
  • If a personal interaction has more than one possible outcome, then create multiple goals, each with a unique note assigned to it. 
  • Users can use a note to satisfy a purchase goal if they do not process purchases online. 
  • Notes that satisfy a goal are available to users after the goal is configured and the automation is published.
  • A note can be assigned to only one goal. You cannot reuse automations.
Be Careful!  Goals based on note updates are satisfied whenever a note is added to a contact history. 
  • The related sequence(s) begin even if the contact is not in the automation. 
  • Make sure your users can easily identify the notes used as goal methods and that they understand Note Template Goals.
