3. Putting your stamp on it – Creating your confirmation and welcome email

A confirmation or welcome email is a message sent to an individual after a specific action has been taken by that person, such as subscribing to an email list. Our application lets you automate this action and tailor it to fit your branding.

Why this is important

Your welcome emails are going to be the first impression your subscribers have of your newsletter. They’re also a good place to greet customers and ask them to add your email address to their safe senders list. Furthermore, personalizing your confirmation email will help your communication sound more human.
