Why Email Marketing Automation Matters

Email automation turns one-off subscribers into loyal customers by sending the right message at the right time — without manual effort. With the average ROI of email at $36 for every $1 spent, implementing proven workflows is one of the highest-leverage growth tactics for SaaS businesses.

Before You Start

  • Define a single goal per workflow – onboarding, upsell, churn rescue, etc.
  • Segment your list (lead source, lifecycle stage, product plan).
  • Map your existing content (blogs, guides, case studies) to each email.
