# Trigger Links

> Create trackable links that fire workflow automations when clicked by a contact.

Trigger links are special trackable URLs that fire a workflow automation the moment a contact clicks them. Use them in emails, SMS messages, and web pages to trigger personalised follow-up sequences.

Trigger Links are designed to record customer interactions with URLs you create, but how do you automate actions after the link is clicked? The Trigger Link Clicked workflow trigger was built just for those instances, allowing you to pair suitable actions to the specific link that was clicked. Follow along to learn how you can set up this trigger in your workflow.

### Adding the Trigger Link Clicked Trigger

To get started with setting up your workflow, click on "Add New Trigger" and select Trigger Link Clicked.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is a trigger link?">
    A trigger link is a trackable URL that fires a workflow automation the moment a contact clicks it. Unlike a standard URL, it records the click event and immediately enrolls the contact in the linked workflow so you can send personalised follow-ups.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where can I use trigger links?">
    Trigger links can be embedded in SMS messages, emails, web pages, and any other channel where you can include a hyperlink. When the contact clicks the link they are redirected to the destination URL and the workflow is simultaneously triggered.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can one trigger link activate multiple workflows?">
    A single trigger link can only be associated with one filter per trigger. To activate additional workflows from the same link, add the same trigger link as a filter to multiple workflow triggers, or create separate trigger links for each workflow.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I create a trigger link?">
    Navigate to Marketing > Trigger Links, click Add Trigger Link, give it a name, enter the destination URL, and save. The generated link is then available to insert into your messages and to select as a filter in the Trigger Link Clicked workflow trigger.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I track how many contacts clicked a trigger link?">
    Yes. Open the trigger link record in Marketing > Trigger Links to see click counts. You can also filter Enrollment History in the linked workflow by trigger to see exactly which contacts entered via the link.
