Execute External Actions with Completion Actions

Trigger external actions when prospects interact with your Account Engagement assets. For example, register a prospect for a webinar after they complete a sign-up form or send a text message after a prospect clicks a custom redirect link. External Action completion actions are available on forms, form handlers, files, custom redirects, emails, and page actions. External action completion actions aren’t available for classic emails.
