Marketing Automation

Marketing Automation Overview

---

The GrowthZone Marketing Automation module provides the functionality to set up automated workflows designed specifically around varying communication goals. For example, you may want to have a work flow for new prospects, or perhaps a drip campaign for new members. A workflow can be tied to a campaign list, that will then allow you to automatically send targeted information to key individuals and groups.

Marketing Automation Pre-requisites

---

• Create the desired email templates to be used in your campaign. See Create and Manage Email Templates.
• Create the desired lists/committees, as needed. See Working with Lists/Committees.
