→ Send Welcome Email
→ Wait 3 days
→ If (opened welcome email)
→ Send Product Introduction Series (5 emails, 1 per day)
→ Tag: "Engaged"
→ Else
→ Send Alternative Welcome (simpler version)
→ Tag: "Low Engagement"
→ Wait 14 days
→ Segment into nurture track based on engagement
Performance Analysis Example:
- Open Rate: 22% (below your 28% benchmark)
- Click Rate: 3.2% (industry avg 2.5% — good!)
- Unsubscribe Rate: 0.8% (acceptable)
- Recommendation: Test 6 AM send time instead of 2 PM; add emoji to subject lines
Troubleshooting Example:
Problem: Automation stopped sending after Day 3 Root Cause: Conditional logic error — "If viewed product page" trigger never fires Fix: Add tracking pixel to product pages; verify Mailchimp tag is applied correctly
