The welcome automation is used to introduce your brand, set expectations for your email marketing messages, and thank customers for subscribing. The automation triggers immediately after a contact becomes a new subscriber.
Seguno gets you started with pre-built automation flows. To set up the automation, customize the email and turn on the automation. To customize the automation further, edit the start and end cards or add a discount.
Understanding automation series
The Welcome Automation comes pre-built with a three-email series. Depending on your welcome strategy, you can activate one or multiple emails in the series.
To enable or disable emails within the series, select the toggle on the email card.

If there are multiple emails in the automation, the discount will need to be assigned to each email in the series. You can apply the same discount or different discounts to each email within the series.
Note: If the same discount is included in multiple emails in a series, each recipient's unique code will remain the same throughout the series, and the discount expiration date will be based on when that code was first delivered to the recipient.
Warning: Codes are only deleted if they are not used prior to the end date. To avoid codes being used multiple times, do not set an end date but set a usage limit on the Discount in your Shopify admin
