Email Marketing vs Marketing Automation
This course covers one-off and recurring mass mailings (newsletters, promotions, announcements). For multi-step, condition-branching nurture workflows (e.g. "if opened but didn't click, wait 3 days then send a different follow-up"), see the dedicated Marketing Automation course, which uses a separate visual workflow builder on top of the same mailing infrastructure.
