An autoresponder sends a prepared email automatically when a defined event occurs. A confirmed newsletter signup is one example. Depending on the workflow, the email may go out immediately or after a delay.
Trigger, recipient, and delay
Define the event that triggers the send, who should receive the message, and when it should go out. For a sequence of messages, check what should happen if someone signs up again or unsubscribes.
Example of a welcome email
Someone signs up for a newsletter and confirms their address. They then receive a welcome email explaining what the newsletter covers and how often it arrives. Test the sequence with a test address from form submission through to receipt.
