With Brevo Automation, you can:

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.
