How I can turn a flow live?
To start sending a flow, click on the Flows tab and then on the name of the flow in the list. For each email in the flow you want to start sending, make sure you’ve customized and previewed the content. Once you’ve reviewed the email content, click on the paper airplane icon to the left of the flow email name and change the status to Live. This will start sending emails automatically to anyone who subscribed. If this email’s status is manual and there are any recipients awaiting review, those recipients will still need to be reviewed and sent manually.
Why was my E-mail not sent to subscribers?
When a coupon code is generated and you find it’s not sent to the subscriber, you should change some settings in the FLOW tab as follows
- Click on the flow tab
- click on the highlighted area in the image and select “0 hours” in the updated time to send the email immediately to the subscriber.
