Automations share the same building blocks. Once you know how to write an expression, store a variable, or invoke a macro in one type of automation, the knowledge carries into the others. Your subscription determines which actions and modules are available.

Building Blocks​

  • Expression Builder: build conditions that decide when an email rule or an individual action step should run.
  • Variables: the reference for email, input, custom, output, global, and meta in each type of automation.
  • Macros: reusable units of automation included with Developer Toolkit, which you can call from other automations or macros.

Actions and Text Helpers​

  • Actions library: actions you can configure as steps in an automation.
  • Text replacement: Handlebars helpers, email data properties, and text manipulation. Use these inside any text field that supports variable substitution.
