Getting Started with Automailer (Beta) – Grow

*This feature is still in beta; if you're interested in future beta releases, please enable Grow Labs.

Automailer is a feature that puts weekly emails on autopilot. Instead of manually crafting and sending each email, Automailer will handle the process for you! This makes it easier to stay in touch with your audience without the effort and time that entails.

Before you enable and adjust Automailer settings, learn more about this feature here.

Turn On Global Automailer

The Global Automailer Setting will act as the "On and Off" switch for sending the Automailer, or think of it as a "Pause" switch if you ever need to stop sending the Automailer.

This setting can be found by navigating to the Grow Publisher Portal > Your Site > Automailer Controls:

When you toggle this on, you'll get a notice to "Enable Automailer List For All Forms". We recommend enabling Automailer on all forms to ensure that all of your Subscribers will receive Automailer emails regardless of what form they may have used to Subscribe (this includes subscribers that signed up via Subscribe Action Pack if you have that enabled!)

If you can't decide whether or not to enable Automailer for all forms, you can choose the "Keep Existing Settings" option for now (we'll circle back to discuss it later in this article!):

What's Next?

Once you've made it through the Automailer Controls and you have the basics set up, you'll now want to circle back to whether or not you Enabled Automailer Sending on All Forms or Kept Existing Settings:

Enable Automailer List For All Forms - you're all set! This option will apply Automailer globally to all of your forms.
Keep Existing Settings - follow next steps ⬇️ ⬇️

Next Steps

If you selected "Keep Existing Settings", Automailer will only apply to the forms you manually enable it for. This ensures that Automailer will only send for the forms you set it for, and can give you extra time to select which forms you'd like to include (or time to create more forms, if you'd like!).

Once Automailer is enabled on a specific form, when someone subscribes to that form, they'll be added to the Automailer list automatically.

You can enable this on all of your forms or just some of your forms, whatever suits your business best!

You'll find this by navigating to your Subscribe Settings > Manage Form > Automailer List:

Then you'll be all set! Happy sending!
