How Marketing Automation Misses Calendar Event Triggers
from Marketing Automation with Fexingo: HubSpot, Marketo, and Automated Customer Journeys · host Fexingo
Episode 56 of Marketing Automation with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore a blind spot in many marketing automation workflows: calendar event triggers. Most platforms only listen for clicks, opens, or form submissions, but ignore what's on the customer's calendar—like a doctor's appointment, a home closing, or a subscription renewal date. Lucas digs into how calendar-connected triggers could reduce friction and increase relevance, using examples from healthcare and subscription services. They discuss the technical hurdles (iCal permissions, privacy) and the potential upside: a 20-30% lift in engagement for event-driven messages. Plus, a candid moment about how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #CalendarEventTriggers #MarketingAutomation #CustomerJourney #MarTech #EventDrivenMarketing #CalendarIntegration #SubscriberEngagement #Privacy #APIIntegration #iCal #GoogleCalendar #Outlook #WorkflowAutomation #TriggerBasedMarketing #Business #Marketing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
