Welcome Сampaign

Customer data is often sent to our CDP using the subscribe API method. In this case, the subscriber is added to the database as an unconfirmed contact. You can't send promotional emails to unsubscribed contacts without their permission to receive them from you.

To get the customer's permission, you need to ask them to validate their email address by sending a confirmation email through a Double Opt-In series. The next step is to send a welcome series.

The design of a welcome series will depend on your marketing goals.

In this article, we’ll create a standard series consisting of two welcome emails. Since it is preceded by a double confirmation, thanking for the subscription is recommended in the first message. A discount or promotional code can also be a good start of the conversation. In the second message, you can tell more about the company and introduce the subscriber to other communication channels (social media, push notifications, YouTube, etc.).

Step 1. Create welcome emails.

Before getting started, we recommend you read a full guideline on how to create an email in the drag-and-drop editor.

1. Go to Messages > Messages and click Create Email.

2. For the first email, in Basic, select a Welcome template or create your own template. Fill it with your content and edit as needed.

Step 2. Create a workflow.

You need to create a workflow to send emails automatically:

  • In response to user actions;
  • Based on selected conditions;
  • In the set order;
  • At a certain time.

We’ll create a standard workflow that would look as follows:

The subscriber confirms their address by clicking the corresponding button in the confirmation email. This button is assigned to the event Confirm subscription.
