Adding events, actions or conditions to a ConvertKit automation

Send targeted drip content at the right time, every time with email marketing automation

Never worry about your subscriber’s journey again. With visual automations you can build custom paths for your funnels by connecting events, actions, and conditions. When joined together, these elements create your subscriber’s journey in one easy-to-understand and totally customizable process.

Context at a glance

You’ll always know exactly what’s happening in your funnels with a quick look at your visual automation. All the important information for each step is right there.

Learn how your subscribers act

Each card shows exactly how many of your subscribers have completed each step. This helps you know how your content is performing and how your subscribers are interacting with it.

Seamless content editing

No need to open multiple tabs or risk losing your train of thought. To edit a form or sequence, just click on your workflow and open the item in the same window. It's email marketing as it should be.

Building intuitive and powerful automations

Watch your email funnels take shape right as you build them and experience your sequences the same way your subscriber does.

Each step you create for your subscriber is as easy as clicking the plus button and selecting an event, action, or condition that autopopulates your next step to lead them to your desired outcome.

Survey your audience

Finding out where your audience members are in their journey is the most important step to understanding more about them and their pain points related to your topic. You can easily use automations with link triggers that connect to email sequences. When you can segment your audience with this automations, you’ll be able to send more direct and targeted content that feels personalized to each person on your list.

Use this automation

Not a ConvertKit customer yet?
Give this automation a try by starting a free trial.

A subscriber opts into a form in your newsletter and is subscribed to an email sequence asking a question with three different answer options, each corresponding to a different pain point. How they answer this question will determine what happens next.
The subscriber clicks on the link trigger for the answer that best represents their interests, leading them to a resources page on your site (and tagging them in ConvertKit).
Each link trigger is connected to an email sequence that corresponds with that interest or pain point, creating a personalized experience for your subscribers.
Send a follow up sequence that pitches your entry level product to turn your subscribers into customers. The pitch feels more relevant because of their past experience with you.

If I had to summarize ConvertKit in one word, it would be “smart.” I love working with a system that does exactly what I need it to do, without all the fuss and hacking.
