Contacts: allows you to set metrics for measuring contact interest level.
Users: allows you to set metrics for user performance and activity levels.
Assets: allows you to set metrics for the effectiveness of your assets.
Opportunities: allows you to set metrics measuring the value of sales and deals.
Note: in this article, we set up contact scoring metrics for our example, the steps are essentially the same for user scoring and asset scoring. For opportunity scoring, follow this link.
Here, you will see 4 tabs:
Scoring Rules: This allows you to specify events that indicate contact interest (e.g. visiting your website, opening a specific email, etc)
Scoring Models: This allows you to assign numerical scores to the events specified in “Scoring Rules”, for example, I might give someone who lives in my area, opened a promotional email, and clicked on the link within the email a score of 50.
Score Depreciation: This will allow you to specify how much a contact’s score will decrease due to inactivity.
Triggers: This allows you to specify which scores indicate high and low levels of interest.
Email: allows you to create scoring rules for web materials created in Bridge
Web: allows you to create scoring rules for web materials created in Bridge
Form: allows you to create scoring rules for forms created in Bridge
Ext. Sites: allows you to make rules for websites not created in Bridge
Ext. Links: allows you to make rules based on links embedded in other media (such as blog posts or email)
Data: allows you to make rules based on the data of your contact records
For this tutorial, we will select “Email”.
Any Activity: assigns a score to your contacts if any emails sent to them are opened.
Specific Activity: only assigns a score if they opened up an email that you specified.
For this tutorial, we will select “Specific Activity".
elect all emails that you wish the rule to apply to, and then click “Done”.
In this example, a contact would get a score if he or she opened any one of the three emails selected.
User Scoring Update:
A new condition has been added to the User Scoring rule, allowing you to identify users who are added to the organization and those who are not. You can now assign scores based on your specific requirements.
To delete a rule, click on the three-dot icon, and then click on the trash icon.
Creating a Scoring Model
This will bring up the above screen:
Score on Fit Model: makes the value of the score constant.
Score on Activity (depreciated over time): makes the value of a score decrease over time
To create a rule:
Click on the "Events Calendar" icon.
A dropdown will display various conditions related to the event calendar. You can filter by event titles, start/end dates, location, and more.
Select the condition that matches your criteria.
Assign points to users when they meet the specified event condition, such as attending or scheduling events with specific titles (e.g., "Event at 3:30").
Save the rule, and the scoring will automatically update based on user activity about the event calendar.
This feature helps you track user engagement with events and assign appropriate scores.
For this section of the tutorial, we will select “score on fit model”.
Once you’re done creating your condition, give it a unique name, description and assign it a score value of your choice. When you are ready to save and close the window, click “Save”.
For this part of the tutorial, we will select “score on activity (depreciated over time)...”. Select the activity that you want the depreciating score to come from using the “What would you like to score on” drop-down menu, and then drag & drop your rules in the provided box. [To set more complex conditions, see the ‘Advanced Conditions Parameters’ section].
To specify whether the contact must complete all of the activities, any single activity, or some combination of activities, click on the “Advanced” link.
To specify that contact must complete all activities to earn a score, write “and” between each activity number.
To specify that the contact can perform either activity to earn a score, write “or” between each activity number.
To make specific combinations of activities necessary to earn a score, place the activity numbers in parentheses.
For example, in this box, to receive any score at all, the contact would have to have opened an email, and then either visited a landing page or filled out a form.
Click on a scoring model to edit it.
To delete a rule, select it, and then click on the trash icon.
When you are done, click on “Apply Triggers”.
