Workflows / Automations
Automation is a sequence of processes that can be automatically triggered to perform specific customer-related tasks. For example, you can use automation to send customers a series of onboarding emails, update their attributes based on data changes, and send them happy SMS or appointment reminders.
(An automation can be used to create an email series. After all, an email series is just a sequence of processes. However, automations can do more than just send emails or other forms of messages. At Engage, you can use automation to add or remove customers from lists, update their attributes, call a webhook and do many other things).
