Automating your marketing communications
Automation uses "workflows" to create multi-step marketing experiences for your contacts, such as:
- Send a welcome message to new mailing list subscribers
- Create a series of onboarding emails for new website users
Workflows can also help you manage internal marketing processes, such as:
- Score new leads based on how they behave on your website
- Adding new attributes to your current contacts or moving them to a new list based on a recent purchase
You may trigger the start of a workflow based on many things, including when contacts:
- are identified on your website
- visit a page
- are added to a contact list
- and much more!
Brevo offers ready-to-use workflow templates, or you can get creative and build a custom workflow for your exact needs.
