Funnel Actions
All the types of Funnel actions that can be used in the Funnel builder.
The funnel action is a function that occurs after a specified funnel event. An example might be an email that is triggered to send after a subscriber signs up to a publication
These are all the funnel actions available on OptiPub.
Timing an Action
Every action has a When do you want to fire the action? setting:
| Option | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Immediately | Fires as soon as the previous step completes. |
| Delayed | Waits a number of minutes, hours, or days. |
| Delayed at a Specific Time | Waits a number of days, then fires at a chosen time of day. |
| Delayed on a Type of Day | Waits a number of days, then fires on the next weekday, weekend, named day, or day of the month. |
| Specific Day/Time | Fires at a chosen calendar date and time. |
Timezones
Options that involve a clock time or calendar day also ask for a Default Timezone, preset to your own. It is only a fallback: when the subscriber's email address has a timezone of its own, the time is interpreted there instead, so "9:00 AM" reaches a subscriber in Tokyo at 9:00 AM Tokyo time and a subscriber in Denver at 9:00 AM Denver time. Addresses with no timezone use the default.
Tick Always use this timezone to pin the step to the selected zone for everyone, for example a deadline reminder that must land at one exact moment.
Because each subscriber's send is computed in their own zone, a single step can fan out over roughly a day across a global audience.
