What is Keyword Trigger?

An automation that starts when a customer sends a specific word or phrase.

A keyword trigger fires an automation when an incoming message contains a defined word or phrase. For example, sending 'PRICE' could trigger a price list, or 'BOOK' could start an appointment flow.

Keyword triggers are a simple, powerful way to let customers self-serve. They are common in ad campaigns and social posts that tell people to 'comment X' or 'DM us Y' to get something instantly.

Because they are explicit and predictable, keyword triggers are easy to advertise and easy for customers to use.
