Hello, all:
I have a series of emails I send out on schedule via Automation to cold leads and former leads/clients.
I used to have one Automation for this, until my # of emails got to over 300 and performanace edting the Automation was impossible.
To fix this, I made several automations. For example, Follow up 1, Follow up 2, etc. Then, each Automation only only gets 50 emails.
At the end of each automation, I Unsubscribe them from the current list and Subscribe them to the next list in sequence. For example, at the end of Follow up 1, I unsub from 1 and sub to 2. Then when 2 is done, they go to 3, and so on.
Here’s the question. Should I sub them to the new list first and then unsub them second?
Or should I unsub first and then sub them second?
Another way to ask this is if someone is in a an Automation and they are in the automation because a triggering event is “subscribe to follow up list one”, if I, in the middle of the automation, unsubscribe them, do they stop receiving emails or do they continue to receive emails until they reach the end of that automation?
Trying not to screw this up too bad. Lol.
And advice/insight would be appreciated.
Second question: I have over 1000 people in the old Automation. I put “Subscribe to Follow Up 1” at the end, which should them move them to the new Automation.
But if I remove all triggering events from the origianl 300+ email Automation, will all those folks top getting emails forever, or should they move thru the old list and onto the new one thanks to “Subscribe to Follow up 1”?
