Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Collect interests. Add a signup form or popup that asks one interest question (for example recipes, new products or region).
Step 2. Segment. Build segments from those answers.
Step 3. Build the flows. Click Automations → choose the Welcome new contacts template (trigger "Signs up for email"), or Build from scratch. Drag Send email actions onto the map: welcome → recipes → new product.
Step 4. Target by region. Send launch emails only to the regions where the product is in stores.
Step 5. Compare. Check flow open and click rates against your one-off blasts after 4 months.
