The email in Step 3: Send email "Getting Started" will be received by the prospect on Monday, if the prospect starts the drip program on Wednesday. A drip program is a program that allows you to send a series of emails to your prospects based on a predefined schedule and logic. You can use drip programs to nurture your prospects, educate them about your products or services, or encourage them to take action. You can also use drip programs to send emails only during business hours, which are the hours that you specify for sending emails to your prospects, such as 10am - 4pm M-F. To calculate when the email in Step 3 will be received by the prospect, you need to follow the drip logic and the business hours settings. The drip logic is outlined below:
Start
Step 1: Send email "Welcome."
Step 2: Pause 3 days.
Step 3: Send email "Getting Started."
Step 4: Pause 7 days.
Step 5: Send email "Tech Setup."
Step 6: Pause 7 days.
Step 7: Send email "Complete Configuration."
End
The business hours settings are:
Only send emails during business hours (10am - 4pm M-F)
Assuming that the prospect starts the drip program on Wednesday at 10am, the email in Step 3 will be received by the prospect on Monday at 10am, following this logic:
Wednesday 10am: The prospect starts the drip program and receives the email in Step 1.
Thursday 10am: The prospect is still in Step 2, which pauses for 3 days.
Friday 10am: The prospect is still in Step 2, which pauses for 3 days.
Saturday 10am: The prospect is still in Step 2, which pauses for 3 days. However, since it is not a business day, the pause does not count.
Sunday 10am: The prospect is still in Step 2, which pauses for 3 days. However, since it is not a business day, the pause does not count.
Monday 10am: The prospect completes Step 2, which pauses for 3 days, and moves to Step 3, which sends the email "Getting Started." Therefore, the email in Step 3 will be received by the prospect on Monday at 10am.
