5 Simple Welcome Workflows to Guide Your Subscribers
When someone interacts with your brand for the first time — whether they join your list, download a freebie, or fill out your contact form — that’s a moment. It’s the beginning of a relationship. And just like any relationship, the follow-up matters.
That moment is part of a customer journey, and how you follow up is your welcome workflow.
You don’t need a massive funnel or 27 complicated automations. You just need to decide what you want a person to experience when they meet your brand. What should happen after they connect with you?
Below are 5 simple welcome workflows you can create inside tools like Flodesk that make sure every new subscriber or lead feels seen, supported, and clear on what to do next.
1. “Join My Mailing List” → Welcome Email or Welcome Series
Trigger: Someone fills out your pop-up or embedded form to subscribe.
What happens next:
A single welcome email or a short email series introduces them to your brand.
You might share what to expect from your emails, a bit about you, or a favorite resource.
In a series, each email can highlight a different part of your business, like services, values, or ways to connect.
Why it works: It sets the tone for your list and reminds people you’re a real human behind the brand.
2. “Download My Freebie” → Freebie Delivery Email
Trigger: Someone signs up to receive a free guide, checklist, or workbook.
What happens next:
They instantly receive an email with the download link.
You might include a quick thank-you and an intro to who you are.
Optionally, you can follow up with a short nurture series after the freebie.
Why it works: You deliver on your promise and immediately build trust.
3. “Schedule Time with Me” → Confirmation + Prep Email
Trigger: Someone books a call or discovery session.
What happens next:
They receive a confirmation email with their scheduled time.
You can include what to expect, how to prepare, and links to any resources they should review beforehand.
Why it works: It feels professional and builds anticipation for your meeting.
4. “Fill Out My Contact Form” → Follow-Up with Pricing Guide + Scheduler
Trigger: Someone submits your contact form.
What happens next:
You send a follow-up email thanking them and sharing your pricing guide or a link to schedule a call.
This email can be automated to go out right away or sent after you review their inquiry.
Why it works: It helps you pre-qualify leads and guide them toward the next step without delay.
5. “Download My Pricing List” → Nurture Sequence
Trigger: Someone downloads your pricing info.
What happens next:
Email 1: Pricing guide + a personal message or video from you
Email 2: More about your services and how you work
Email 3: FAQs or myths you hear from potential clients
Email 4: Testimonials or case studies
Email 5: A strong call to action like “Book a Call” or “View My Work”
Why it works: It gives people time to get to know you and your value before they commit — perfect for service-based businesses.
