Email marketing remains a powerful channel for follow-up communication, lead nurturing, and engagement. In BotSailor, end users (non-resellers) can integrate their email provider to send instant, automated emails when subscribers submit their email addresses through chatbot flows.
This guide walks you through how to connect your email account, collect user email addresses, and trigger real-time email delivery using user input flows or reply buttons.
✅ Instantly send a confirmation or welcome email when a user submits their email
✅ Use email alongside WhatsApp or Messenger conversations
✅ Collect leads directly inside bot flows
✅ Personalize emails with subscriber input using custom fields
