💡 Run a Poll in your welcome email

Let’s send your subscribers the kind of content that they want from you. Add a Poll in your welcome email, and then use that data to send your subscribers an onboarding Sequence based on exactly where they’re at. Read more about Polls.

Here’s how it works:

Step one: Prompt new subscribers with a Poll. Ask your subscribers a question about what they’re most interested in hearing from you. Give them a few answers to choose from.
Step two: The Poll tags subscribers based on their answers. This happens automatically, without you lifting a finger.

Step three: Your subscribers get the content they want to see. Use the subscriber tag in your Visual Automation to create a split path. This will send your new subscribers down a welcome Sequence that offers them exactly what they’re looking for, based on the real answer they gave you.
