What are the Predefined Triggers?

Written by Camila

Predefined Triggers are ready-to-use signals that require no keyword setup. Just toggle them on and set your lookback window.

Tip: Each trigger has one setting: "Activity happened within the last (months)". The default varies by trigger; adjust it to match how fresh you want the signal to be.
