THE WORKED EXAMPLE

A small, specific use case.

A photography tutor welcomes a subscriber, sends a lighting exercise one day later, then suggests the next lesson after another day.

Fictional example. Product descriptions and any prices are illustrative.

Illustrative preview

Explore the example below. This preview does not send emails, take payments or create bookings. You configure the real process in your own Systeme.io account.

STAGE 1 OF 3

Welcome

Introduce the lessons and give one easy starting task.

Before you start

  • A configured sender, an opt-in page and three finished emails.
  • Enough remaining campaign, contact and automation capacity in your account.
  • Signup wording that explains the welcome emails.

Set it up in Systeme.io

  1. Create the campaign

    Open Emails → Campaigns → Create. Give it a name, choose your sender and save. Open it and create the three messages.

  2. Set the sequence

    Activate each message from its three-dot menu. Put the welcome first without a waiting period. Make email two follow email one by one day; make email three follow email two by one day.

  3. Keep timing simple

    Leave optional hour and weekday restrictions off for this example. Each delay is measured from the preceding selected message, not directly from signup.

  4. Connect the opt-in

    Create an automation rule with Funnel step form subscribed for your page. Add Subscribe to campaign, select the welcome campaign and save.

Text you can start with

What to check before choosing a plan

  • Extra hour or weekday conditions can postpone sending. Messages must be activated.
  • A newly inserted earlier message will not reach contacts who already passed that point.
