This event executes a job when sendout of a group message is finished.
Hint:
In Engage, the designation (S) means system-related. Generally, you only combine system (S) events with system (S) jobs. For more information, see Contact (C) vs. System (S) Automations
General
Name
Defines the name of the automation. The name is used to identify the automation in the system. The maximum length is 100 characters.
Description
Provides information about the automation. The description makes it easier to identify the automation in the system.
Event

Recommended Automations
An automation is a combination of an event plus a resulting job. The following combinations are recommended. It is possible to create other combinations, as well, but not all combinations of events and jobs result in meaningful system behavior.
Group Sendout Finished (S) + Export Message Statistics (S): This automation exports message statistics when sendout of a group message is finished. In this case a delay is necessary to allow time for the recipients to respond to the message. For example, message statistics are exported one week after sendout.
Group Sendout Finished (S) + Export Data to Server (S): This automation exports data to a server whenever sendout in a group is finished. The export can include open and click data as well as address-related data, depending on the export type.
Group Sendout Finished (S) + Send Prepared Message to Address (S/C): This automation sends a prepared message to a specified address when sendout of a group message is finished. This informs a manager or the group owner that sendout is complete.
Define Event
This area defines the specific parameters of the event.
Group Name: This drop-down list restricts the event to sendouts in one specific group. If you select a group, three additional bullet points appear:
Any Message: The event includes all future sendouts in this group, as long as the sendout takes place when the automation is running.
Scheduled/Sent: Do not select this option for this event.
Prepared Message: The event includes all sendouts of the selected prepared message. This includes all future sendouts of the prepared message, as long as the sendout takes place when the automation is running.
Message Category: This drop-down list restricts the event to sendouts in a specific message category. (Hint: Since message categories are not group-specific, you can use a message category to create an automation that reacts to sendouts in multiple groups at once.)
