What is email action ?
Email & HTML email
Emails are communications to be written without any image or attached file.
HTML email are HTML communications to be pasted. File cannot be attached.
Emails and HTML emails are automatic actions. They will be sent automatically to the user(s). Customer Success Manager will not be alerted when these actions will be sent to the user.
How to optimise set up email actions ?
Setup sender : Sender can be the either static (always the same person who sent the email - defined or custom) or dynamic (sender will be the owner of the profile in Salesmachine)
Careful! If the sender is set as dynamic and the profile does not have a Customer Success owner assigned, email will not be sent.
Choose recipient : Email recipient can be customised according the trigger of the workflow. If the workflow is triggered on account, the message can be sent to contact of the account or only a specific contacts of the account (to be defined according to contact patterns)
Select cc / bcc : cc and bcc emails need to specified, but email entered needs to exist in Salesmachine. If cc/bcc email does not exist in Salesmachine, email will not be generated
Customise content : Use attributes profile to address contextual message to your users. Content can be customised according to profile attributes, not profile events.
Adjust unsubscribe feature : As emails are sent as newsletter, default unscubscribe actions are set for emails. You can simply untick this feature with your email content.
