Welcoming a New Customer

When a new customer signs up on your company's registration page, it's an excellent opportunity to make a positive first impression. More customers mean more business, right?

Why not send them a warm welcome email to make them feel valued and happy about their decision?

This automation workflow ensures that a welcome email is sent to every new customer who signs up for your business. Here’s how it works:

Trigger: The automation initiates when a new contact is created.

Wait: Add a wait period to delay the email, allowing it to be sent a day after the sign-up instead of immediately.

Send Email: Send the customer a personalized welcome email, making them feel special and appreciated.
