How do I start subscribers on a specific Workflow based on a selection in my form?

In this article, we'll walk through how to set up specific Workflows based on your subscriber's preferences.

AWeber's Workflows platform is a great way to automate the kind of messages your subscribers receive based on their interests. One way to do this is by tagging subscribers based on their sign up form selections. You could, for example, give subscribers the option to receive messages on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Step By Step Instructions

  1. Start by creating the Workflows you would like to send.

  2. Then, set each Workflow start on a tag by selecting "Only add subscribers who get a specific tag" from the Workflow starter options.

  3. Once you have created the Workflows, create a custom field that corresponds with these options. For this example, we created one called "Send Frequency."

  4. After creating this custom field, add it into the form you would like subscribers to use when they sign up. You can tag the custom field with each corresponding tag.

  5. Then, publish your form. Subscribers will be able to select their preference from your custom field options, and will receive the Workflow messages based on their choice.

    Note: You'll be able to see what tags have been applied to a subscriber under the Manage Subscribers page.

Congratulations! Your subscribers will now receive messages based on the choices they've made on your sign up form. You'll be able to send more contextual emails to them directly with this kind of automation.
