About these guides
Automation lets your email platform send the right message when something happens, such as a new subscriber joining your list or a customer buying for the first time. Set up well, it saves hours every month and makes every new subscriber feel welcome, even while you are busy with other work.
The best first automation for almost everyone is a welcome email sequence: our guide includes a five-email plan with timing you can copy. Once that runs, email list segmentation shows how to group subscribers by interest or behavior, so your automations and campaigns reach the people they are actually meant for. Most tools, including MailerLite’s free plan, let you try both before paying.
