A confirmation or welcome email is a message sent to an individual after a specific action has been taken by that person, such as subscribing to an email list. Our application lets you automate this action and tailor it to fit your branding.
Why this is important
Your welcome emails are going to be the first impression your subscribers have of your newsletter. They're also a good place to greet customers and ask them to add your email address to their safe senders list. Furthermore, personalizing your confirmation email will help your communication sound more human.
💡Indie Email comes with preset automations. You can select from the Automations list and just review the configuration and email content. Your brand is automatically applied!
