Overview

The Modify Parent Engagement Score action helps you track how interested prospective families are in your childcare center. Every time a parent opens an email, clicks a link, or visits your enrollment page, you can automatically adjust their engagement score to reflect their level of interest.

This makes it easy to identify the families most likely to enroll and prioritize your follow-ups accordingly.

What This Action Does

The Modify Parent Engagement Score action lets you increase or decrease a parent's engagement score based on their behavior. Their score updates automatically when they:

  • Open your emails
  • Click links in your messages
  • Visit your enrollment pages
  • Submit forms or complete tours

Higher engagement scores help you spot the families actively considering enrollment, so you can reach out at the right time with personalized follow-up.

Example: Tracking Email Engagement

Scenario: You want to identify which prospective families are most interested in your childcare center based on how they interact with your emails.

  1. Trigger: Email Event — Email Opened
  2. Action: Modify Parent Engagement Score — Add 10 points when a parent opens your email

Parents who open your emails and click through to learn more automatically get higher engagement scores. You can then filter your parent list by engagement score to:

  • Send personalized follow-ups to highly engaged families
  • Offer priority tour slots to parents showing strong interest
  • Focus your team's outreach on the warmest leads
Pro Tip: Set up different point values for different actions. For example, opening an email might be +10 points, clicking a link +25 points, and booking a tour +50 points. This helps you spot families taking meaningful steps toward enrollment.
