Hello can you send a campaign to a list of contacts through an automation?
Example, we created a form that creates an event on a specific date. The form then activates a campaign email to be sent to selected people in a list.
Can you also create campaigns from forms? Example, the form mentioned above is filled out and then fills up empty fields/content blocks in the campaign.
Hi James, in that case, you can create automation with the form submission trigger and then use shortcodes to fill out the email body. If you can’t figure it out on your own, feel free to reach out to our support team.
