A trigger is used when you want content to play outside of the looping content list. It is added below the Loop List Action.
What is a Trigger?
A Trigger is an instruction the system gives a piece of media or container, to play at a specific time(s) or specific frequency.
Trigger Options explained
Strict
The content in the list will be interrupted by the content being triggered to adhere to time or the recurring frequency selected.
Slot in
The content being triggered will slot in after the content that was lined up by the system has finished playing. This is done to get as close to the recurring frequency as possible without interrupting content.
