Contact Created Trigger

The Contact Created Trigger starts a campaign when a new contact enters the workspace.

When to use it

Use this trigger for workflows that should begin as soon as Leadpush knows about a person.

Common examples:

• welcome or onboarding sequences
• initial profile enrichment flows
• first-touch segmentation or tagging
• internal notifications for new records

Settings

• Frequency: contact creation usually happens once for a record, so this trigger is typically used as a one-time entry point.
• Trigger details: because the trigger is based on contact creation, there is no event name or segment to select.

Simulation and execution behavior

Simulations use a selected sample contact to preview the workflow. Real executions run when a contact record is created.

If later nodes depend on contact attributes, make sure those fields exist when the contact is created or add a later update/enrichment step.

Best practices

• Keep this trigger focused on new-contact onboarding, not later lifecycle behavior.
• Use segment or event triggers when entry depends on behavior after creation.
• Verify required fields exist before using them in message templates or conditions.
