Trigger an automation manually with specific members in your email list

Automations are simple to create, you set your trigger and the steps that follow it and activate the automation. You have a variety of triggers to choose from, from your own custom fields, to a subscriber's birthday or campaign open, or events that take place on your website, like visits or product purchases.
