Hello Friend, are you ready to chat about creating a welcome series with MailChimp Automation?

Let’s talk about automation
MailChimp automation is a sequence of emails that send once triggered by an event.
For example, Sally Active signs up for your beautifully crafted opt-in from your landing page. When Sally signs up, it triggers your welcome series using MailChimp Automation.
The first email in the welcome series is the most open and read, so it's kinda a big deal.
In this message, you want to provide a link to your opt-in, give valuable information and when Sally can expect to hear from you again.
Setting up a MailChimp automation will allow for the email series to be delivered based on the predetermined schedule that was set when the workflow was created.
When they first sign up it is okay to send the first few emails in your warm-up sequence daily. Then you can space them out every couple days. You’ll want to shoot for six to ten emails.
Automation is different from campaigns
MailChimp automation is different from campaigns as the first email is sent when triggered not when it's scheduled by you.
Workflows
Various different workflows can be created with Automation such as after a purchase, signing up for an opt-in or clicked a link in a campaign that was received.
Automation merely is a workflow. MailChimp does all the administration of your emails with Automation.
