Automated Triggers

Set up "set and forget" automation. Advanced Broadcasting listens for key system events—like new user signups, invoice creations, or server suspensions—and automatically triggers your pre-defined notification flows.

Event-Driven Architecture

Triggers fire immediately when system events occur, ensuring real-time communication.

Conditional Logic

Filter triggers based on specific criteria (e.g., invoice total > $50) for targeted messaging.

Multi-Channel Routing

Define different templates for different channels (e.g., a short SMS vs. a detailed Email).
Trigger Configuration Interface

Visual Trigger Editor

Easily configure complex automation rules with our intuitive UI.

// Example: Registering a custom trigger event AdvancedBroadcasting::registerTrigger( 'user.upgraded', 'User Upgraded Package', ['package_name', 'old_package', 'new_price'] );
