A multi-channel trigger map is a short list of events that are allowed to start a message, and the one channel that message may use. It is not a poster of every tool in the stack. If email, SMS, and an in-app banner can all fire from the same visit, the map has no ceiling.
Name the event before the channel. A pricing-page return by a known account. A demo no-show. A support ticket that mentions cancel. Each of those can own one send. "Engaged across channels" is not an event, and it will email and text the same person on the same afternoon.
One owner, one write-back. The map should say who stops the next channel when the first one gets a reply. SMS after an email reply is a coordination bug. So is a sales task the nurture sequence cannot see. If the second system cannot read the first event, do not add the second channel.
Draw only the triggers you will still defend next quarter. Delete the branch that exists because a campaign from last year needed a text. A map with forty boxes is a backlog. A map with five named events, each with a channel and a stop, is something an operator can run.
