Email automations can save time and help your subscribers. They can help build relationships and bump up subscriber engagement. That's why most everyone sends a new subscriber onboarding or welcome series. It's a great email automation example.
Here are dozens more ideas of email automation triggers and use cases.
What really makes automations powerful is that they can be triggered by all sorts of subscriber behaviors and actions. They get useful info to people when they need it. That's heroic work. Dig into email automations and triggers.

City Bureau, based in Chicago, published a magnificent series on intergenerational relationships. This is a wonderful example of community-based storytelling. Thanks to H Kapp-Klote for showing this to me.
Great story about fandom and community. ⤵️

Xan Brooks reviewed Melania for The Guardian and this may end up winning the Academy Award for best sentence in a movie review.
I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch and proffered like a medieval tribute to placate the greedy king on his throne.
