Email marketing automation refers to sending pre-built email sequences triggered by specific user actions or lifecycle stages — a signup, an abandoned cart, a purchase — rather than manually sending one-off campaigns.
| Flow | Trigger | Typical Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome Series | New subscriber/signup | Build trust, drive first purchase |
| Abandoned Cart | Cart left without checkout | Recover lost revenue |

| Win-Back | Inactivity period | Re-engage lapsed customers |
| Browse Abandonment | Product view without cart add | Nudge toward conversion |
