Design the email you want to send. Our AI builder makes this easy.

  3. Use the AI Chat to generate content (e.g., "Write a welcome email for new users").
  4. Insert personalization variables like {{first_name}} to make it dynamic.
  5. Click Save Template.

3. Build an Automation

Connect your trigger to your email template.

  1. Navigate to Automations.
  2. Create a new automation and give it a name (e.g., "Welcome Sequence").
  3. Select a Trigger. For testing, choose "Webhook" (Automatic).
  4. Add a new step and select Send Email.
  5. Choose the template you created in Step 2.
  6. Save and Activate the automation.

4. Test It

Trigger the automation to see it in action.

If you chose "Webhook" ensuring you have the URL:

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "email": "you@example.com", "first_name": "Developer" }'
