Nurture Strategies
Nurture allows you to set up a Strategy to automatically send Email Templates, change leads to a new Status or even assign to another user. It can also automatically change the Strategy at a certain date and time. Nurture Strategies are separated by Record Type.
What can Nurture do?
Create automated Nurture Events – You can automate Email to be delivered when a Lead changes Status or a set time after an event or other email pieces were sent out.
Instantly track delivered, opened and failed email deliveries – Find out exactly when your customer opened an Email, if they followed a link you provided, or even if the Email was marked as spam.
Add Nurture to an Action by adding as an Operation to the Action, or Nurture a Lead by selecting Nurture from My Leads.
Add Nurture to Automated Events so they are applied to leads automatically when created.
Note: Email Templates should be built prior to creating a Nurture strategy.
