Automated email campaigns help you engage with subscribers and customers through targeted, trigger-based messages. Here's how to set them up effectively:

Types of Automated Emails

For Subscribers:

  • Welcome emails (sent immediately after signup)
  • New subscriber discounts
  • Engagement emails

For Customers:

  • First purchase thank you
  • Repeat customer rewards
  • VIP customer benefits (based on spend)
  • Re-engagement emails
  • Product recommendations
  • Member onboarding

Creating an Automated Campaign

  1. Go to automated emails dashboard
  2. Click "Create Automated Email"
  3. Choose a preset template
  4. Set your trigger conditions
  5. Customize timing and delay settings
  6. Design your email content

Setting Triggers

Subscriber Triggers:

  • All subscribers
  • Specific mailing lists
  • Potential customers (no purchases yet)

Customer Triggers:

  • Any product purchase
  • Specific product purchases
  • Total order count
  • Total amount spent

Important Considerations

  • Automated emails count toward monthly sending limits
  • Subscribers must confirm subscription to receive emails
  • Purchase-based emails don't automatically add recipients to mailing lists
  • Timing changes only affect new triggers
  • Campaigns pause during editing

Managing Campaigns

To Pause:

  1. Click [...] on dashboard
  2. Select "Pause"
  3. Make needed changes
  4. Click "Start" to resume

For Drip Campaigns:

  • Create multiple connected emails
  • Set different delay times
  • Target same subscriber/customer group

Tracking Performance:

  • Monitor open rates
  • Track click-through rates
  • Analyze unsubscribe patterns
  • Review delivery success

This automation system helps maintain consistent communication while respecting subscriber preferences and anti-spam practices.
