Sending marketing emails using marketing automation

Marketing emails can be sent out automatically by marketing automation processes. Such emails must be specifically flagged by enabling the Use in Marketing automation property (either when creating the email or later by editing the email on the Email properties tab).

Emails intended for marketing automation cannot be sent directly from the Email marketing application and do not work with an exact list of recipients. Instead, you can use the following approach to send the emails:

1. Set up an appropriate marketing automation process.
2. Add a Send marketing email action step into the process flow.
3. Select your email in the step properties.

The system automatically sends the email to individual contacts when they reach the Send marketing email step within the process.
