Trigger Frequency in SendJim (Zapier)
Trigger Frequency controls how often a SendJim automation is allowed to run for the same contact or address when using Zapier. This setting helps prevent duplicate or excessive mailings, even if your Zap is triggered multiple times.
How It Works
When Trigger Frequency is set, SendJim will process the mailing once and block any additional sends for that contact or address until the selected time period has passed.
This is especially helpful if your CRM or connected software updates records frequently or triggers events more than once.
Why Use Trigger Frequency?
- Prevents duplicate mail pieces
- Avoids over-mailing the same household
- Protects against repeat sends caused by record updates
Best Practices
- Choose a frequency that matches how often your source system triggers events.
- When in doubt, start with a longer frequency window.
- Review this setting anytime you change your automation logic.
