Page Actions (Automation Settings, Part 1)

Hi all! We’re doing a series of 3 posts about a lesser talked about area in Pardot- Automation Settings. These settings are amazingly helpful and everyone should use it, but they aren’t necessarily the first thing your company will get to during implementation.

First up are Page Actions!

Admin> Automation Settings> Page Actions
+ Add Page Action, Name it, Enter the full URL that you want the action on, Save.

Use Options:

1. Page Actions give you real-time control of your website. Website tracking is great, but sometimes we need to take action on a prospect asap. Page actions allow you to set completion actions (ex. Add to list, notify user, send autoresponder, etc.) to a Prospect when he/she visits specific pages on your site. Consider this- Which is better?

2. Page Actions can identify specific pages as being worth more or less points than others. If you had Page Actions set to decrease the score for your Careers Page and/or increase the score for the Pricing Page, you would have a better picture of which Prospect is worth sales’ time.

3. Page Actions can be used to call a page out as priority. Even if you have no need to take action on a page or score someone differently for visiting it, you still may want a Pricing or Product/Service page to stand out in the Prospect Activity section. Checking the “Priority Page?” box allows the page to stand out from the typical “1 visit 4 pages” on the activity.

Page Actions are awesome and you should definitely try them out!
