Send automated emails every time a card moves to a phase, a field is updated, or another event happens in your pipe.

Before you start:

Create email automations

Open the pipe and click on Automate.

Click on Create new automation.

First, select an event: what triggers the email.

For example: every time a card enters a phase.

Next, select send an email template as the action.

Then, select a pre-existing email template, or create a new one.

📌 Find detailed instructions on how to create email templates.

Click on Create automation, give it a name, and save.

Prepare your email template

Starting from scratch

If you need to create a new email template, make sure to insert:

  • Who is sending the message (From name)

  • An email for people to reply to (From email)

  • Who will receive your email (To email)

  • The subject

  • And the message


📌 Pro tip: customize your message by adding dynamic fields (variables). They will automatically fill your text with information from the start form or previous phases.

Click on the plus sign button and select the option.

Ensure your cards are correctly filled, so the receivers get the whole message. Otherwise, it will be blank, and your message will be incomplete.


How to edit existing email templates

If you choose a pre-existing email template and you wish to modify it, is not possible to do it through the automations page. Click on the email tab, and select My templates.

Click on the three dots button next to the template you want to change. Select Edit template.

Make the adjustments and save.

Go back to the automations tab and set it up.
