Drip campaigns-must activate first before drafting multiple emails?

Hi @learningwp35,

You can create a drip campaign using the Welcome Emails, as described here:

We’d like to draft a series of 3 automated email campaigns to send automatically when people sign up for her mailing list.

Yes, you can create the 3 Welcome Emails, save them as a draft and keep them “Inactive” while still working on their templates/content.

Once you activate them, then the newly subscribed users will receive them according to how you have them set up (X days after subscription).

Please note you’ll be able to automatically send them only to new subscribed users. Existing users won’t receive these emails once they’re “Active”. For those, you’ll need to send the emails manually.

Thanks!

Hi @learningwp35,

I can draft the emails for now, but don’t have to set up the frequency yet, and will be able to go back to do this later?

Yes, that’s correct. You can set up any frequency you want to create a new Welcome Email. But it doesn’t mean you need to activate the Welcome Email or can’t change this frequency later.

Instead of activating the Welcome Email, you can click on the “Save as draft and close” button and leave it as a draft. You can go back and edit it at any time you like. Once it’s finished, you can then change its settings and Activate it.

For reference: Create a Welcome Email

Thanks!
