Automations & email sequences
Answer: Automations fire on triggers, email sequences drip multi-step follow-up to enrolled leads, and broadcasts send one-time emails. Sends skip bounced, invalid, and unsubscribed addresses — they do not guarantee inbox placement.
Trigger-based automations, multi-step email sequences with lead enrollment, and one-time broadcasts. Sequences and broadcasts skip bounced, invalid, and unsubscribed addresses.
The Automations view is a three-tab control center: Workflows (one trigger → one action), Sequences (multi-step drip campaigns), and Broadcasts (one-time messages to a filtered audience).
Automations: if this, then that
- 1Open the Automations view and switch to the Workflows tab.
- 2Click New workflow.
- 3Pick a trigger: a lead is created (lead_created), a lead changes status (status_changed), a lead crosses a score threshold (score_threshold), or a task becomes overdue (task_overdue).
- 4Pick one action: create a task, send an email, update the score, change status, or write a note on the lead (send_notification). The form only collects extra copy for create_task.
- 5Save and enable the workflow.
Email sequences: multi-step drip campaigns
- 1Open the Sequences tab and create a new sequence.
- 2Add steps — each step is an email with a delay (Day 1 → 3 → 7).
- 3Enroll leads into the sequence, either one by one or from a filtered set.
- 4LeadFlow tracks enrollments and sends each step on schedule.
Sequence steps are their own subject and body, with {name} and {company} filled per lead. Saved templates are a picker inside the one-off email composer, not a separate Automations screen. Enrolled leads show sends on the lead's Messages tab.
Broadcasts: one message to many
- 1Open the Broadcasts tab.
- 2Write a subject and body.
- 3Filter the audience by lead status and source.
- 4Send — preview counts matching leads; send skips bounced, invalid, and unsubscribed.
- Broadcasts skip invalid, bounced, and unsubscribed addresses. That is skip-list hygiene, not a promise that remaining mail lands in the inbox.
- You still need a verified Resend domain. There is no separate suppression-list UI — bounced and unsubscribed flags on the lead are the list.
