# Run a welcome series that starts itself

Every new subscriber gets the same timed emails, starting the moment they join.

Each person starts at the first step when they join, and moves on at their own pace.

How it works

## Running in three steps.

1. 01
   
   Choose what starts it
   
   A contact joining an audience, a form sign-up, or an event from your product.
2. 02
   
   Lay out the path
   
   Emails from your published templates, with waits and yes or no questions between them.
3. 03
   
   Publish and watch
   
   The People tab shows who is on which step, and the report counts every email.

What it runs on

## The parts doing the work.

Nothing here is a separate product. Each one is a piece of the mailbox you already have.

Automations

Emails that send themselves when someone joins a list or does something in your product.
