From one off campaigns to steady journeys

Most teams start with newsletters and launch emails. Over time it becomes clear that one off campaigns are not enough. New subscribers join and receive nothing for weeks. Trial users slip away without a nudge. Buyers never hear about how to get the most from what they purchased.

Our Email automation service is built to close those gaps. Instead of relying on someone to remember to send the right message, we design flows that react to what people actually do. Sign up, purchase, attend an event, abandon a step, reach an important milestone. Each of these can trigger a short, helpful sequence that keeps people moving.

Designing flows around real lifecycle stages

Good email automation mirrors the stages people naturally move through with your business. We start by mapping that lifecycle. For example, new subscriber, prospect, trial user, active customer, repeat customer or lapsed user. For each stage we ask what someone needs to know, feel and do next.

Typical flows include welcome or orientation sequences, onboarding and feature education, post purchase follow ups, re engagement touches and renewal or upsell prompts where appropriate. We keep each flow focused on a clear job so messages do not blur together or compete. The result is a set of journeys that feel like a guided path rather than a random trickle of emails.

Connecting website, product and CRM

Email automation does its best work when it talks to your other systems. We look at how your website, forms, product and CRM currently connect to your email platform. That includes sign up forms, gated content, checkout events, booking tools and custom events that reflect real behaviour.

Where needed, we tidy the way data flows between systems. That might mean standardising tags, using clearer custom fields or setting up simple integrations. The details depend on your stack, but the goal is the same. When someone does something important, your email platform knows about it and can respond in a measured way.

Automation that still feels human

There is a difference between helpful automation and noisy automation. We keep tone and pacing at the centre of the work. Flows are designed so that every email earns its place. Messages are written in plain language, explain why someone is receiving them and give an easy way to opt out of specific journeys if they stop being relevant.

We are also careful about overlaps. Someone should not receive a heavy sales sequence while they are in an onboarding flow for a different product, or be chased for a purchase while already in a renewal discussion. We use sensible rules, delays and exclusions so email automation supports relationships rather than straining them.

Using AI where it genuinely helps

AI can be useful in email automation when it is used with intention. For example, to summarise longer form content into shorter snippets, suggest subject line variations or personalise small parts of a message based on what someone has done.

If it fits your stack and comfort level, we can incorporate light AI assistance into your flows in a controlled way. That might be AI suggested follow up prompts for your team or dynamic content blocks that adjust to simple behaviours. We keep things transparent and easy to review so you can always see what is being sent and why.

Measured, documented and easy to change

Automations work best when you can see what they are doing. As we build flows, we document their purpose, triggers, timing and exit conditions. You get a simple view of each journey so new team members are not left guessing.

We also consider measurement from the start. For each flow we highlight which metrics matter most, such as activation rates, feature usage, repeat purchase rate or simple engagement. Over time we can adjust content, timing or branching based on what the numbers and your team are telling you, without ripping everything out and starting again.

A good fit for SaaS, services and ecommerce

This service suits teams who want their email channel to feel like a helpful extension of their product or service, not an afterthought. Whether you are running a SaaS product, agency, online service or ecommerce store, we design email automations that support how you already work and sell.
