Kit: Setting up an email sequence

Demo summary
Shows how to create a multi-day email sequence, use content snippets for signatures, and schedule the timing between emails.
Step-by-step
- Navigate to Send and select Sequences.
- Click New Sequence and select a template, such as Text Only.
- Draft your email content and use the Personalize menu to add the subscriber's first name.
- Click the plus icon and select Snippet to insert a pre-made signature.
- Set the timing for each email by adjusting the 'Send this email' delay (e.g., 1 day after the last email).
- Click Add Email to create subsequent messages in the drip series.
- Go to Settings to configure the sender address or exclude specific subscribers by tag.
- Click Update Sequence to finalize your settings.
Options
- Choose between the Monterey template or a Text Only template.
- Exclude specific subscribers from the sequence based on tags.
- Adjust font size manually to ensure snippets match the rest of the email body.
Watch out for
- A Pro Plan or Creator Plan is required to access the Sequences feature.
- The editor may occasionally display font sizes or spacing differently than the final version; hit Save to refresh the view.
Tips
- Use the Text Only template as it feels more natural and less like a marketing blast.
- Set a 3-day delay between some emails to give subscribers time to rest.
- Preview the email before publishing to ensure the personalization tags and links work correctly.
