What are Email Automations?

Email automations are pre-built email sequences that send automatically based on a trigger event. When a subscriber joins your list, makes a purchase, or takes another action, the automation kicks in and sends a series of timed emails.

Example: A "Welcome Sequence" sends 5 emails over 2 weeks to new subscribers — introducing yourself, sharing your best content, and eventually promoting your product.

Welcome immediately

Send your first email right away — don't make new subscribers wait.

🎁

Provide value first

Give before you ask. Share your best content in the first few emails.

📧

Use clear subject lines

Be specific about what's inside. Avoid clickbait — it hurts deliverability.

Include one CTA per email

Don't overwhelm readers. Focus each email on a single call-to-action.

📊

Test and iterate

Monitor your analytics and adjust timing, content, and subject lines.

💬

Keep it personal

Write like you're talking to one person, not a crowd. Use a conversational tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many emails can I add to one automation?
There's no hard limit. However, we recommend keeping sequences to 3-7 emails for the best engagement. You can always create multiple automations for different purposes.
Can I edit an automation after it's active?
Yes! You can pause your automation, make changes, and reactivate it. Subscribers who already received certain emails won't receive them again.
What happens when a subscriber triggers multiple automations?
Each automation runs independently. A subscriber can be in multiple automations at the same time.
How do I track if my automations are working?
Check the analytics in each automation and step — you'll see sent count, open rate, and click rate. We track every open and click automatically.
Can I change the delay between emails?
Yes! Click on the timing badge between any two steps in the sidebar to open the delay editor. You can use presets or set a custom time.
