This engagement type represents event triggered execution of the Campaign. Refer to the Real-Time Events chapter for details on creating and triggering Events.

The following configuration options are available for this engagement type:

• Validate that customer is part of audience – If this is enabled, when a Campaign is triggered by an Event, the customer associated with the Event is validated against the configured audience on the Campaign. Only if the customer is present in the Campaign's audience, Campaign execution is triggered.
  Note: If the Campaign is referencing a Strategy rule that contains Segment references within the Strategy, the above setting is enforced even if it is not enabled. The customer must be a part of the Campaign audience in this scenario.
• Listen for events from/to – Specify the start and, if desired, end date and time values during which the Campaign will listen for the Events associated to it. Any Event that is received outside of the specified time frame will be ignored.
