Build a Strong Automation Strategy
Pick one core outcome per flow—activation, education, or repeat purchase—then map metrics to each step. Track micro-conversions like clicks on key content sections, not just opens. Comment with your go-to KPI and why it deserves a permanent spot on your dashboard.
Segmentation and Personalization at Scale
Segment by actions: category views, session depth, quiz responses, and download history. Create streams that reflect curiosity level, not just past purchases. Invite readers to tell you which topics they’d like more of, then auto-route them into relevant nurture paths.
Segmentation and Personalization at Scale
