4.1.2 Creating an Autoresponder Campaign

An autoresponder campaign is similar to a regular campaign, but rather than sending a blast of emails to a list all at once, each email is trigged individually by a subscriber’s actions.

For example you want to send email 10 tips on a particular of a topic, each spaced one week apart. You can setup 10 autoresponder each including one of my tips and set the frequency at one week or you can set an autoresponder after each time a subscriber opens an email from another campaign.

In this example if you want to send out a campaign about a sale and a subscriber has opened that email, you can create a follow-up autoresponder to be sent a day or two later.
