Stay timely and consistent

Run campaigns on a set schedule or trigger them from actions like signups, purchases, or approaching deadlines. Automate follow-ups after a delay or when there’s no response to keep communication flowing and avoid missed opportunities.

Email campaign complemented by SMS touchpoint

Include SMS for an omnichannel experience

Use email as your primary touchpoint, then follow up with SMS when needed. Manage both in one workflow to create seamless omnichannel campaigns without switching tools.

Reach the right people with relevant content

Use dynamic lists to automate contact segmentation and target qualified recipients, then insert personalized details like purchase history, account type, or location. Keep messaging aligned with each contact’s stage, needs, and preferences.

Product update

A product update campaign keeps customers informed about new features, improvements, or important changes. Updates help drive feature adoption and reinforce your product’s value.

Setup: Trigger the sequence for your customer base or a targeted segment based on product usage. Send a high-level announcement first, followed by a detailed walkthrough of the most relevant update.

Sales promotion

A sales campaign drives purchases by promoting discounts, special offers, or seasonal events.

Setup: Send an initial promotion announcement, follow up mid-campaign to boost urgency, and end with a “last chance” email before the offer expires. Use enhanced automations to remove buyers from later steps.

Abandoned cart

An abandoned cart campaign recovers lost sales by reminding customers about items left in their cart and encouraging them to complete the purchase.

Setup: Trigger when a logged-in customer or email subscriber leaves items in their cart without checking out. Send a reminder a few hours later, followed by an incentive email (or text) if they still haven’t purchased. Use enhanced automations to stop the sequence if the purchase is completed.

Post-purchase follow-up

A post-purchase campaign reinforces customer satisfaction, encourages continued use, and opens opportunities for upselling or repeat purchases.

Setup: Trigger immediately after purchase. Send an order confirmation, a usage tips email, and a request for a product review.
