Understanding the difference between Filters and Triggers

All campaign filters are based on synced data  from your BMS. In Pathway, data is organized into categories.

Contact-Level Information

These fields relate to the individual contact and can be used in filters:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Date added
  • Birthday
  • Account handler / account executive
  • Branch code
  • Address/location

Policy-Level Information

These fields relate to individual policies:

  • Policy status (Live, Lapsed, etc.)
  • Product target (e.g., Property, Commercial Combined)
  • Policy subtype
  • Carrier
  • Effective date
  • Renewal date
  • Payment method
  • Outstanding balance

Other Available Filters

Depending on your setup, you may also filter by:

  • eDocs
  • RFQs (Requests for Quote)
  • Opportunities
  • Activities (e.g., opened, closed, synced date)
  • Claims (e.g., date opened, date of loss, status)

Filters vs. Triggers 

Filters

Filters define who qualifies for a segment.

Example:

  • Policy status = Live
  • Product target = Property
  • Branch code = London

These narrow the audience.

Triggers

Triggers determine when a campaign sends.

Triggers are typically date-based fields, such as:

  • Date added (contact-level trigger)
  • Policy effective date
  • Policy renewal date
  • RFQ effective/renewal date
  • Activity opened/closed date
  • Claim opened/closed date

You may use many filters, but only specific fields act as triggers:


Examples of campaign specific triggers. 

Welcome campaign → New client
Pre-renewal campaign → Policy Renewal Date
Cross-sell campaign → Policy Effective Date
eDelivery → Document Download
