Introduction to Email Automation Trigger | Create Automated Email Journey

Email automation, also known as drip email marketing or automated email journeys, is a powerful tool that allows businesses to send out emails automatically based on specific triggers or actions taken by the user. This means that once set up, the system will send out emails without any manual intervention, ensuring that your customers receive timely and relevant content.

Why is Email Automation Important? #

• Timely Engagement: With automation triggers, businesses can engage with their customers at the right time. For instance, if a customer subscribes to your newsletter or makes a purchase, they can instantly receive a welcome email or a thank you note.
• Efficiency: Automation ensures that you don’t have to be present all the time. Once set up, the system takes over, sending out emails based on user actions.
• Personalization: Automated email journeys can be tailored to user actions. For example, if a user opens an email, they can receive a follow-up, and if they don’t, a different journey can be initiated.
