Email workflow
It is possible to create email workflows that automatically send the emails / content you want to the customer. We have pre-built email templates that you can use, or you can create your own email workflows.
You can use these to send an email on various triggers, such as when the gallery is published, announcing a promotion, or sending a reminder before a gallery is archived or a promotion ends.
This should help keep your customers informed and also motivate you to make more sales.
Use an e-mail workflow template
To create a new email workflow, open the Email workflow within the Sales Panel. A template is available for you to use. Clicking on it will display the emails within that workflow.
To create a new workflow using this as a template, click on the Duplicate button in the right column. You’ll then need to give the duplicate a new title and click on Continue. A copy of the template, including the emails, will then appear in the Email Workflow menu, where you can edit the email to suit your needs.
Create an e-mail workflow
To create a new workflow, click the Add button from the Email Workflow menu and enter a Title for your new email workflow, which will only be visible to you. When you are finished, click Continue. A new blank Email Workflow menu will appear. A column on the right displays information about the last save date and functions such as Delete and Rename.
