The Quiz Submitted trigger is a workflow entry condition that fires whenever a contact completes and submits a published quiz in Captivation Hub. It gives businesses, educators, and marketers a powerful way to streamline engagement, automate responses, and improve quiz-based interactions. Once this trigger is added, contacts can be enrolled into a workflow the moment their quiz data is captured, making real-time engagement and personalized follow-up possible.
Filter Options
Filters control when the trigger should fire, giving you detailed control over which quiz submissions start a workflow. With advanced filtering, you can define conditions such as quiz name, overall score thresholds, category score thresholds, or custom field values, allowing you to target specific audiences and control exactly when the workflow begins.
Below is a breakdown of the available filter types:
Quiz Name: Choose a specific quiz, use Any to include all quizzes, or use Is Not to exclude certain quizzes.
Overall Score: Build rules such as is greater than 80 or between 50 and 70 to segment contacts based on their total score.
