====== Autoresponders ======

{{vimeo>117890511?750x423}}

Sentori's Autoresponders allow you to send either a single email, or a series of emails with delays between, following a trigger action. The trigger can be one of the following:

  * The confirmation of a sign up request made through a sign up form on a webpage.
  * A 'click' (call to action) in an email.
  * An %%API%% call.
  * A contact being manually added.

The Autoresponders homepage will allow you to [[automation-create|create an automation]], and [[automation-edit|review or edit an existing automation]].

===== Autoresponder Examples =====
 
==== One-off welcome email ====

When a new subscriber joins your list, send them a single welcome email. This is a great opportunity to onboard new subscribers, ask them to white-list your sending address, and market to them immediately.

Whilst you can create this type of Autoresponder manually (by building an Autoresponder with a single Send Email Step), you can cheat and choose a single email to attach to your Signup Form via its Confirm screen. Sentori will build the Autoresponder for you behind the scenes.

==== Welcome journey ====

Rather than welcoming your new subscribers with a one-off email, you could expand this to be a programme of multiple emails sent with timed delays between each one. For example:

  * Send Email: Thanks for signing up
  * Delay: 7 days
  * Send Email: Email marketing tips - how to grow your list
  * Delay: 7 days
  * Send Email: Email marketing tips - create a winning email campaign

By combining Steps such as Send Email and Delay, you can create fully-automated marketing campaigns, autoresponders, welcome journeys, and more.
