Zoho Whatsapp Automation
Welcome every new newsletter subscriber with an instant WhatsApp thank-you and an automated welcome email, all synced through ActiveCampaign.
Why This Workflow Matters
This workflow helps you greet every new subscriber the moment they join your newsletter. Instead of manually sending confirmations, it automatically tags them, sends a friendly WhatsApp message, and follows up with a welcome email.
The result is a smooth, personal experience that keeps new contacts engaged from day one and encourages them to open and read your emails more often.
How The Automation Works
- Trigger: Whenever someone completes a newsletter signup, the automation starts.
- ActiveCampaign Actions: The new contact is automatically tagged as “newsletter” and a webhook is triggered to send data to the D7 WhatsApp API.
- WhatsApp Message Sent: The contact instantly receives a WhatsApp message that says, “Thanks for subscribing!” so they know their signup worked.
- Follow-Up Steps: After the WhatsApp confirmation, the contact gets a welcome email with more details about what they can expect from your newsletter.
- Goal / KPI: The main goal is open rate improvement—this quick confirmation and warm welcome encourages subscribers to open and engage with your future emails.
