Automate sending an email to a contact

You can automate sending a contact an email.

Note: Automation is different to Scheduling.

  • Use Email Scheduling to write a message that you want to send to one or more contacts at a specific time on a specific date in the future.

  • Use Email Automation to write a message that you want to be sent to a contact whenever that contact meets certain criteria.

    • Foe example, whenever a contact is added to the Health project, send the message “Welcome to the health counselling service. Use this link to book an appointment with us”

    • How to automate an Email message is described in this article.
