When a visitor reads a blog post authored by a collaborator, the “Blog Post Visited” event is triggered. This creates an engagement linking the pageview to the collaborator who wrote the post.

How it’s typically used

Blog Post Visited is built for sites that publish content written by outside contributors and want to pay those contributors based on how much traffic their writing actually pulls in. You handle the platform and the editorial process, and the writer gets credited every time someone reads their post, no matter how the reader got there.

This trigger pairs naturally with a traffic-driving program like a basic affiliate program. Affiliates drive visitors to the site, those visitors read posts written by contributors, and both sides get credit through their own programs. The blogger revenue program recipe is a ready-to-use setup for paying contributors this way.

Posts are attributed through their WordPress author field, so any post assigned to a collaborator’s user account will fire the trigger when it’s viewed.
