This Event occurs when a monitored Contact visits any of your monitored domains from the source specified in the Event’s settings.

The source can be an external domain, your own domain, or a specific URL address on your domain.

IMPORTANT: This Workflow element requires additional website configuration on your part. Below, you will find useful information that you can pass to your developers. You can also contact our Support department (support@salesmanago.com) for more information and assistance.

The data required for this Workflow Event to work is contained in the referrer header. At present, most browsers (including Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) apply a restrictive referrer policy by default, which prevents the collection of certain information, including the search phrase entered by a user in the search engine prior to visiting a website.

For instance, in the case of Google Chrome, the default referrer policy is currently strict-origin-when-cross-origin. If your website uses this policy, the Workflow Event: Website visited from specific source will not work because the search phrase entered by a user cannot be established. However, in the case of Google Chrome, this security setting can be overwritten. If you want to use this Workflow Event, make sure to set a less restrictive referrer policy for your website, e.g., no-referrer-when-downgrade.

Remember that the use of a less restrictive policy may mean that sensitive data included in URLs will be transferred to third-party websites. Avoid including sensitive data, such as session identifiers or tokens, in URLs.

After adding this Action to your Workflow, define the following settings:

[1] Source—Enter an external domain, your own monitored domain, or a URL address on your own domain. The Event will occur when any of your monitored domains is visited from the source specified in this field.

Do not include the protocol and the www subdomain.

In the case of an external domain, only the domain (or subdomain) must be entered in this field, e.g.: example.com or store.example.com. If a specific URL path for an external domain is provided, the Event will not occur.

If you want the Event to occur when the source of a visit is your own monitored domain, you can enter only the domain or a full URL address.

EXAMPLES:

CORRECT: externaldomain.com; yourdomain.com; yourdomain.com/store/product/turtleneck-sweater.

INCORRECT: https://externaldomain.com; www.externaldomain.com; externaldomain.com/info/history; https://yourdomain.com; www.yourdomain.com.

[2] Follow an alternative path after—This option will only be available if this Event is not the triggering Event for the Workflow (i.e., if it is preceded by another Event, a Condition, or an Action, and not directly connected with the Start element). Here, you can specify the time after a previous Event/Condition/Action for which the system will wait for this Event to occur.

If the Event occurs within the specified time, the primary path will be followed immediately.

If the Event does not occur within the specified time, the alternative path will be followed.
