How to Use Email Automation Tools to Grow Smarter

Email is still one of the most effective marketing channels - but to get real results, you need more than a basic campaign tool. You need email automation tools that help you deliver relevant messages to the right people at the right time, without manual effort.

In this guide, you will learn how to use email automation tools like MyLINK MarketingPlatform to streamline your strategy, improve targeting, and boost conversion rates.

What Are Email Automation Tools?

Email automation tools are platforms that let you set up email campaigns triggered by specific actions or behaviors.

Instead of sending emails manually, you can:

  • Welcome new subscribers automatically

  • Recover abandoned carts without lifting a finger

  • Send personalized product offers based on past behavior

  • Nurture leads with time-based or behavior-based content

MyLINK MarketingPlatform is LINK Mobility’s all-in-one automation platform. It supports email, SMS, push notifications, and more - so you can build truly personalized, omnichannel customer journeys.

Step 1: Build Segments

Start by organizing your audience. Use demographic data, behavior, preferences, or past purchases to create smart segments.

Step 2: Create Your Email Templates

Use the drag-and-drop email builder to create emails that match your brand. Add dynamic content like first names, loyalty status, or product recommendations.

Step 3: Design Your Automation Flow

Use the FlowBuilder feature to automate journeys like:

  • Welcome flows

  • Abandoned cart recovery

  • Post-purchase emails

  • Win-back campaigns

Each step in the flow can be triggered by customer actions - such as clicks, purchases, or time delays.

Step 4: Test and Optimize

Use split testing to try different subject lines, CTAs, or send times. Track opens, clicks, and conversions directly in the platform’s analytics dashboard.

Common Use Cases for Email Automation Tools

One of the biggest advantages of using email automation tools is the ability to automate specific moments in the customer lifecycle. These tools allow you to create targeted workflows based on user behavior or predefined triggers - ensuring that every message is relevant and timely. Whether you want to welcome new subscribers or re-engage lapsed customers, automation does the work for you.

Email + SMS = Even Smarter Automation

Marketing success often depends on timing, relevance, and reach. By combining email automation with SMS, you create an omnichannel experience that captures attention faster and drives more action. While email delivers in-depth content and beautiful design, SMS adds immediacy - ensuring your most important promotions get seen, fast.

Use SMS alongside email for high-impact marketing touchpoints like:
