Straight answer
A real trigger or stage change exists.
Best fit
Dentists: A scheduled dental visit is finalized as not completed after late-arrival, cancellation, and staff-contact checks, with no replacement appointment.
Conditional fit
Relevant CRM event or stage change; stop on reply, booking, stage change, or opt-out.
Main tradeoff
The patient may want to return but worries about judgment, scheduling friction, a possible fee, privacy, or whether the record is accurate.
When To Use This Campaign Type
Use this campaign type when a specific business moment creates a clear next action. The email should match the trigger, address the recipient's likely objection, and stop once the recipient replies or completes the next step.
