What is Email automation?

Email automation is a set of rules that send the right email when a trigger fires: a welcome series when someone subscribes, a reminder before their appointment, a follow-up when they register for a webinar but do not attend, a win-back message when a customer goes quiet. Each automation is built once and then works continuously.

The building blocks are triggers (what starts the sequence), steps (the emails and delays) and conditions (who continues and who exits, such as stopping the sales sequence the moment someone buys). Good automation feels personal because it responds to what the person just did.

Why it matters

Automation is how a small team behaves like a big one. The welcome email sent at 2am, the reminder nobody forgot, the lead followed up within minutes: these are the touches that convert, and they are exactly the ones a busy owner drops. Once built, an automation never has a bad week.

How it works in Medivot

Medivot automations trigger on anything in the platform: form submissions, list joins, deal stage changes, bookings, webinar registration and attendance. A webinar no-show can get a different sequence from an attendee, and a new landing page lead can enter a welcome series immediately, with every send recorded on the CRM timeline.
