Description
Automation lets you link an action performed by your contacts to a sequence of predefined tasks. Manual tasks can be performed by this tool automatically, with a single work platform that synchronizes with existing conditions and activities. With automation, for example, you could set up a welcome email to be sent a few seconds after a contact signs up for a subscription form linked to a list.
Why this is important
Automation can increase efficiency, productivity, accuracy, and reduce errors when done correctly.
You will be able to better manage your work system with it because you will have a clearer overview of it.
