Email sequences in Enlitly are designed to help you automate a series of emails. In this article, we will cover the basics of understanding sequences, as well as the differences between system-generated and custom sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Sequences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Email sequences are used whenever you want to send automated emails to your contacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each email sequence is always linked to a List<\/strong>. Once a contact is added to that list, the sequence is triggered. Typically, the first email in the sequence is set to be sent immediately (0 hours) after a contact joins the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can schedule subsequent emails to be sent after a designated wait time, such as 1 hour or 1 day. The system will automatically send the next email after the specified delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no restrictions on the number of emails you can add to a sequence, allowing you to create as extensive a sequence as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Custom Sequences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Custom sequences are those that you create manually. For example, if you are building a funnel from scratch by adding an opt-in form to a landing page, you would use a custom sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how a custom sequence works when creating a funnel from scratch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. First, you create a landing page with an attached form.<\/li>
  2. The form is linked to a list.<\/li>
  3. The list is connected to an email sequence.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Whenever someone submits the form on your landing page, they are added to the associated list, and the sequence emails are triggered based on your drip settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Custom sequences are also useful when you want to segment your list and send automated emails to a specific segment. To learn more about segmentation in Enlitly, please refer to the article: How to segment your contacts in Enlitly<\/a> <\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can create custom sequences within the “Email” module under the “Sequence” section, as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We have streamlined the process of creating landing pages, forms, lists, and sequences within the “Funnels” module. When you add a funnel, Enlitly automatically generates the form, list, and sequence for you, so there is no need to manually create them. For more details, see the section on system-generated sequences below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    System Generated Sequences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Enlitly automatically generates sequences when you add a funnel or a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Funnel Sequences:<\/strong> When you add a funnel, you will find a system-generated sequence in the “Sequence” tab while editing the funnel, as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Product Sequences:<\/strong> Similarly, when you add a product, the system generates an onboarding sequence. This sequence can be viewed and managed within the product settings, as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These system-generated sequences can be customized to align with your brand and communication style, ensuring a personalized experience for your audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
