Using the "Trigger after another autoresponder" trigger

This help article is for an old version of Direct Mail.

You can trigger an autoresponder to send after another autoresponder sends. This can be very useful for chaining autoresponders together to send a series of emails. For example, you may want to create a three-week email training course that people can subscribe to online (one email per week). Here’s an outline of how you would do that:

  1. Create three autoresponders: Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3
  2. The Week 1 email is triggered when a person subscribes to your course using a Direct Mail subscribe form
  3. The Week 2 email is triggered seven days after the Week 1 email
  4. The Week 3 email is triggered seven days after the Week 2 email

If you use this type of trigger, you will need to select which autoresponder this autoresponder comes after. In most cases, you will also want to set a delay (e.g. wait one week before sending a follow-up email).
