Triggers and Actions allow your bot to execute actions when some events happen inside your bot.

If something happens inside the Messenger bot it will trigger the automation and make the bot to perform the corresponding action.

You can use this rules to automate tasks like:

When a tag applied to a user, add the user to a Facebook custom audience.
When a user clicks on your email, subscribe them to a Messenger sequence.
