I wanted to bring your attention to our Visual Marketing Automation Builder, which has undergone a series of updates and refinements since its release and is now ready for this announcement.

Our workflow tool allows marketers to build complex email marketing campaigns by creating predefined event sequences that automate customer and subscriber lifecycles.

With our workflow canvas, marketers can place drag and drop building blocks that are interconnected and executed in predefined sequences.

Each of these blocks represents either an event in the form of an activity, sending an email for example, or a decision point based on pre-set values, where leads are rerouted through the workflow down a specific path.

Workflows make it possible to simulate the steps in real world business scenarios such as abandoned shopping carts and welcome emails among others.

The drag & drop blocks that can be used in a workflow are detailed below;

  • Start & End events (describe a subscriber’s entry/exit conditions for a workflow)
  • Send message
  • Delay (temporarily prevents subscribers from advancing to the next block in the workflow)
  • Set data (sets or changes a value of a data field in the database)
  • Data switch (provides different paths a subscriber can follow through a workflow)
  • A/B Split testing
  • Redirect groups of subscribers onto different paths

Each workflow can be customized with variables that are available only through the lifetime of a subscriber in a specific instance of the workflow. For example a different Order ID can be assigned to an email subscriber that made 3 purchases last week and has 3 instances at different stages of the post-purchase the workflow with 3 different Order IDs.

You can see an example of a workflow in play in the following article:
