## Benefits of using Trigger.dev for marketing workflows
|
|
|
|
**Delays without idle costs:** Wait hours or weeks between steps. Waits over 5 seconds are automatically checkpointed and don't count towards compute usage. Perfect for drip campaigns and scheduled follow-ups.
|
|
|
|
**Guaranteed delivery:** Messages send exactly once, even after retries. Personalized content isn't regenerated on failure.
|
|
|
|
**Scale without limits:** Process thousands in parallel while respecting rate limits. Send to entire segments without overwhelming APIs.
|
|
|
|

|
</div>
|
|
</Tab>
|
|
|
|
<Tab title="Multi-channel campaigns">
