Straight answer
A real trigger or stage change exists.
Best fit
Agencies: A current agency proposal was delivered and acknowledged, but one defined buyer decision remains open with no active conversation.
Conditional fit
Relevant CRM event or stage change; stop on reply, booking, stage change, or opt-out.
Main tradeoff
The buyer cannot decide until scope boundaries, responsibilities, commercial terms, or the conditional start process are clear.
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.
