In this ConvertKit tutorial for beginners, I'll teach you the basics of email automation within ConvertKit. First, we'll create a sequence of automated emails to be sent out over a couple of days. Then we'll set up the automation that triggers the sending of the email sequence we created. When someone signs up on your landing page, a tag is added to the subscriber and the addition of the tag is what will trigger the automated email sequence.

Can you add follow-up emails with the sequence? For example, If I want to send another email in the same thread, can you do that with Convertkit?

For the newsletter referral system- is there a workaround if you don't have creator pro?

Can automation kicks in when a new email is added in the inbox

I have a question, newbie here. So my client has a live zoom session for like 7 30 am at Thursday. We send 3 emails, once subscribed user receives 1st email, then follow up 2nd email on 2nd day, then 3rd in 3rd day. So let's say user subscribe before the day, and I only want that user to receive the 1st email only since live event starts tomorrow. How can I do that?

I have been on convert kit for like a month, I hate it. Why do they make everything so hard?? Like they have a landing page template and there is zero flexibility to move things around and add things to it. Now with the email; you have to get into html coding just to have your pic added to the email. it's just exhausting really

Can't we attach files in the automation?
