Email Automation

Transactional and operational email flows with templates, triggers, and deliverability-minded setup.

Email Automation covers the messages your product and ops depend on—receipts, onboarding, alerts, and lifecycle nudges—wired to real events with templates you can maintain. We focus on correct triggers, safe unsubscribe/preference handling where relevant, and operational visibility when sends fail.
