Step 2. Click on + New workflow to start a new workflow.

Step 3. Select a template that suits your needs, e.g. one of our welcome email templates, or start from scratch.

Step 4. Name your workflow for easy access in the future.

Step 5. Click Add trigger to define what event causes your automation to begin for a subscriber.
