How to build a subscription confirmation workflow

In this guide, you’ll learn how to build an automated subscription confirmation for your email signup form.

💡 If you're incentivizing people to subscribe in exchange for a coupon, an ebook, or any other lead magnet, this is where you deliver your incentive.

📌 For more precise instructions on using the email editor, refer to our guides.

Add more emails to the workflow (optional)

Following the confirmation email, consider sending a sequence of automated daily emails to introduce your brand, products, or services. If you do, make sure to add a time delay between emails to avoid overwhelming new subscribers.
