Marketing automation lets software execute predefined marketing tasks using rules, events or schedules. Mailchimp describes automating repetitive content-marketing activities after their initial setup.[1] Automation is therefore an execution mechanism; it does not itself decide whether a message is relevant, permitted or accurate.
A store could start a welcome sequence after an intentional newsletter sign-up. Define entry conditions and stopping rules so the sequence does not continue after an unsubscribe or changed circumstances. Test repeated events and incorrect data: one purchase should not accidentally start several identical sequences. Track messages actually sent, not only whether rules are enabled.
