Using the Quiz Submitted Workflow Trigger

What Is the Quiz Submitted Trigger?

The Quiz Submitted trigger is a workflow entry condition that activates whenever a contact completes and submits a published quiz in your CRM. This feature enables businesses, educators, and marketers to automate engagement, deliver instant responses, and personalize interactions based on quiz outcomes. By adding this trigger, you can enroll contacts into workflows as soon as their quiz data is recorded, ensuring real-time follow-up and tailored experiences.

Key Benefits of the Quiz Submitted Trigger

This trigger allows you to react quickly and at scale when someone finishes a quiz.

  • Real-Time Engagement: Respond immediately after a participant submits their quiz, improving open rates and conversion opportunities.
  • Advanced Filters: Configure conditions based on quiz name, specific scores, or custom fields to target precise audiences.
  • Custom Actions: Automate personalized follow-ups, such as sending emails, SMS notifications, or assigning tasks based on quiz results.
  • Operational Efficiency: Eliminate manual data exports and spreadsheet work by integrating scores directly into your automations.
  • Scalable Workflows: Combine with conditional steps, wait times, and IF/ELSE logic to build complex nurture sequences effortlessly.

Filter Options

Filters determine when the trigger activates, giving you fine-grained control over which quiz submissions start a workflow. Advanced filters let you set precise conditions, such as quiz name, overall or category score thresholds, or custom fields, enabling you to target specific audiences and define exactly when the trigger fires.

Available Filter Types

  • Quiz Name: Select a specific quiz, use Any to include all quizzes, or use Is Not to exclude specific quizzes.
  • Overall Score: Create rules like is greater than 80 or between 50 and 70 to segment contacts by total score.
  • Category Score: Target learners who excelled or struggled in a particular section of the quiz.
  • Custom Field: Reference custom score fields you created when designing your quiz.

Filtering Quiz Scores Using a Range

Score range filters help you route contacts based on performance, making it easier to group them into appropriate follow-up paths without creating multiple overlapping conditions. When configuring quiz score conditions, use the Between operator to match scores within a selected range.

How it works:

  • Enter the lower score in the first field.
  • Enter the higher score in the second field.
  • Both the starting and ending scores are included in the range.
  • The system prevents invalid ranges where the minimum score is greater than the maximum score.

Example: Trigger a nurture workflow when a quiz score is between 30 and 60.
