Frequently asked questions about automation in Quanda

A transactional email is a special campaign type that you prepare in advance and activate. You do not choose recipients for it, they are determined by the automation that triggers it the moment a contact meets the condition. Without a transactional email, you cannot set up an automation that sends a message.

In a simple campaign, set the condition "did not open the email", a time of, say, three days and the action send an email with a transactional email that has the same content. For non-opens, the time counts from when the original campaign was sent. In one of Quanda's own campaigns, this raised the overall click rate from 5.1 to 6.2 percent.

Create a campaign of the Birthday greeting type, choose the group tags and select the hour at which Quanda should check the dates every day. The contact must have the Date of birth field filled in, otherwise their turn never comes. Do not forget to add a personalized salutation to the email.

Prepare a table of first names and name day dates according to the calendar of your country, add the dates to your contact export with a VLOOKUP formula and import the file back into the Anniversary field. The procedure is in the help article Importing name day dates.

In the form automation, choose the Send notification action and prepare the notification text in advance as a transactional email. That way a salesperson learns about a new inquiry within a minute. For newsletter forms, a summary report for the form manager may be enough.
