Use the "Objective" action to automatically stop your automations when a condition is met
Stop or modify an automation when a contact meets a targeted condition.

In the digital world, your automations must be able to adapt in real time to your contacts' actions.
This is exactly what the Goal Event action does: it allows you to continuously monitor a condition and automatically access the action by skipping the intermediate steps when the goal is met.
For example:
Stop an email sequence if a purchase is made
Interrupt a funnel if a webinar registration takes place
Move on to the next step as soon as a key link has been clicked
What is the Goal action?
The Goal action allows you to define a target event to monitor. The contact can be at any stage of the workflow: the system "listens" and, as soon as the condition is met, the automation can:
Move directly to another step
Skip the remaining actions
Or immediately end the workflow
This avoids unnecessary or redundant actions, while improving the relevance of your campaigns.
Concrete use cases
By purchase or conversion
Example: a contact receives a sequence of emails to purchase a product. As soon as they make a purchase, a "product purchased" tag is added. The Target action detects this, and the contact is automatically removed from the workflow.
By registering for an event
Example: you are offering a webinar. If a contact registers (adding the "webinar registration" tag), they are removed from the follow-up funnel.
By clicking or opening an email
Example: a key link is inserted in your email (booking link, replay link, etc.). As soon as a contact clicks, the Objective action is achieved: you can redirect them to another logic.
By appointment status
Example: a contact makes an appointment, and their status changes to confirmed or present. They can then be automatically directed to personalized follow-up (preparation email, thank you email, etc.).
By adding or removing a tag
Example: you use tags to track the stages of the lifecycle (hot lead, active customer, unsubscribed, etc.). The Objective action reacts to these changes and adapts the journey.
What types of events can trigger an Objective?
Opening or clicking on an email
Click on a "trigger link"
Adding or removing a tag
Change in appointment status (new, confirmed, present)
How do I set up a Goal action in CrocoClick?
1. Add an Objective action to your automation
In the automation editor, add the "event" action to your sequence.

2. Name your Goal clearly
Use an explicit name:
"Tag added: product purchased"
"Click on link: booking page"
"Appointment status: confirmed"

3. Choose the type of event to monitor
You can select:
Click or email open
Click on a trigger link
Add/remove tag
Change in appointment status

4. Define the validation criteria
Examples:
If the "product purchased" tag is added
If the contact clicks on link X
If the appointment status changes to "confirmed"

5. Decide on the behavior once the target action has been achieved WITHOUT the condition being met
Move on to the next step
Skip the next actions
End the automation immediately

6. What if the objective is not achieved?
You can choose to:
Wait until the goal is achieved before continuing
Continue the workflow anyway
Or to end the automation
7. Activate your automation
Once everything is configured, save and activate the automation.

Best practices and advanced use cases
Setting a Goal at the end of a follow-up sequence allows you to remove contacts as soon as they take action, without waiting for the end
You can use the same link or tag for multiple Goals, with different conditions
Combine multiple Goals in an automation to create highly tailored journeys
Objectives work even if the action occurs outside of business hours or on another channel (email, page, calendar, etc.).
Conclusion
The Goal action allows you to intelligently and dynamically automate your workflows. It offers a simple and powerful way to track key behaviors of your prospects and adapt your campaigns accordingly.
Less friction, more relevance, and a customer experience that hits the mark at every stage.
