The advantages of having a welcome email with your email marketing automation system
Having an automatic welcome email comes with several upsides:

This tutorial was made using the online application Mailify Sunrise. However, this process is quite similar in other softwares – so feel free to implement these steps on your own email marketing automation software.
For example, let’s make a welcome email to your newsletter. You must have created an online subscription form that is linked to a contact list – so you can have a steady flow of new subscribers to your newsletter. This contact list will be the very foundation of your “newsletters”.
Start your email marketing automation solution and follow these steps.
01. Start by creating an automatic campaign
02. Choose the contact list that is linked to your newsletter subscription form and give your automatic campaign a name
03. Choose the “Welcome” type
(Nothing too complicated up to here, right? Email marketing automation requires a bit of learning – but once you learned it, you will be an email marketing automation master!)
04. Click on the “+” button and add a message to your automatic scenario
05. Create your welcome email
If you use Mailify Sunrise like in our example, you’ll have access to dozens of email templates made by professionals. The email above is a welcome template which is available at the Mailify gallery.
To complete your message, you need to specify a subject line, a name, a sender and an email address for the answers. All of the elements of a regular email marketing campaign – with a little help from our email marketing automation software.
06. Once you have finished your email, activate your automatic scenario
And you’re all set!
Your automatic welcome email is ready. It will be sent every time someone subscribes to the contact list you choose at the beginning. Now, your marketing department doesn’t have to worry about sending out welcome messages – your email marketing automation software has got that covered!
In this case, Mailify Sunrise is here to help you with smaller tasks such as sending out welcome emails.

Offer a discount coupon
To offer links to other content that can be used by the user
