Rules and workflows
systeme.io describes two tools. Automation rules are simple if-then pairs: a trigger such as "Form subscribed" with an action such as "Subscribe to campaign". Workflows are visual, multi-step flows that can include delays, conditions and branching.
What can trigger them
systeme.io lists triggers such as signing up, making a purchase, clicking a link, a tag being added or a date. Actions include sending emails, giving course access, updating tags and moving someone to a different funnel.
Freelancer examples
- Someone downloads your free checklist: tag them and start a welcome sequence.
- Someone buys your template: send the download and a follow-up email a few days later.
- Someone books a call: tag them as a lead so they get the right newsletters.
What the free plan allows
The pricing page lists 1 automation rule on the free plan, and unlimited automation rules on the Unlimited plan. If automation is central to your business, check which plan you need on systeme.io's pricing page.
