Hi @AGupta024,

In the enrollment criteria of your workflow, select “Set up triggers” \> “When filter criteria is met” \> “Marketing emails”, then find your email and select “Email was sent to contact” form the dropdown.

Thanks Karsten!

Can you also help me understand how can I set the duration in this trigger?

For example, I want to start my workflow only after 10 days of the previous workflow being executed

Hi @AGupta024,

You wouldn’t add the delay in the enrollment criteria but as the first action after enrollment, see below:
