Creating a Welcome Email Series

Learn how to set up a welcome email series for new subscribers

A Welcome campaign is a sequence of automated emails you send after a user confirms their subscription (Double Opt-In). It introduces users to your brand and helps build ongoing communication.

Create a Welcome Дampaign

Define the logic of your campaign based on your business goals. For example:

  • introduce your brand,
  • offer a welcome bonus,
  • collect additional data,
  • prepare users for their first purchase.

In this example, we create a welcome campaign with two emails:

  • the first email — a welcome message;
  • the second email — a survey.

Step 1. Prepare Emails

  • the second — based on the Form template.
  1. Add content to the emails.
  2. Preview emails (1) on different devices and send a test email (2).

Note

Review the workflow setup guide before you start.

Step 2. Create a Workflow

  1. Go to Automation → Workflows.
  1. Create a workflow with the following blocks:
  • Start (added automatically);
  • Task: Confirm contact;
  • Email — first message;
  • Timer — set to 5 days;
  • Email — second message;
  • End.

Step 3. Set Up the Workflow Launch

Note

In the Double Opt-In email, the confirmation button is linked to the Subscription confirmed event. When a user clicks the button, the event triggers.

Use this event as the launch condition for the Welcome campaign workflow.

  1. Go to Automation → Workflows.
  2. Open Start/Stop configuration.
  1. Enable Start configuration.
  2. Select:
  • Event-based launch condition;
  • Subscription confirmed event.
  1. Click Apply.
  2. Activate the workflow.

Result

After a user confirms the subscription:

  • send the first email immediately;
  • send the second email after 5 days.

This approach helps you gradually engage subscribers with your brand.
