When it detects a change, it emits a standardized notification that downstream systems and workflows can subscribe to. Instead of waiting for a human to export, rekey, or email an update, your tech stack receives the change instantly and takes the appropriate, pre-defined actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThose actions are configured as business rules, not code snippets. Examples include updating the CRM with the latest contact information, adding the member to a segmented mailing list, provisioning access to member-only content, or creating a task for a program manager. Because these rules are repeatable and auditable, they eliminate the drift that causes inconsistent records and reduce the latency between a member action and your organization’s response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdding AI agents on top of contact triggers moves you from deterministic automation (if X then Y) to intelligent orchestration.
