you ROCK! Mailchimp had gotten special. thank you for showing a different way around automated emailing.
It's the 1st of March 2024 and this workaround still works! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for sharing the tip, this saved my project! MC has hidden this feature so well that I spent days trying to figure our a free option to automate just one simple journey. And here we go-your 5 min video was all I needed.
Many thanks! 🙏 Sub!
So glad I could help!
I'm not sure what I would have done without finding your video and your link to 'classic automations' tonight. It had been so long since I'd refreshed my welcome email that I had no idea how much had changed and I was feeling blocked at every path. Thank yooooooooou!
I'm so glad it helped.
I followed your guidelines, and it worked. Thank You!!!!
Thanks, I found this. I've been looking for this as my past lesson back in 2018. Thank you so much for bringing this up. You're amazing!
Glad I could help.
Sister you don't know how happy you made me !!!!!!
Lifesaver! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the link and the guidance to get this going 👍
thank you! had hard times finding this free automation
You got a sub here! Thanks so much! I was trying to figure this out for soooooooo long LOL Scratching my head for the last couple of days and finially, with your help, figured it out. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you, this was very helpful, I have been stuck with the Upgrade to create a journey for a while
Hi Marti, thank you so much for walking us through how to do this. You saved me $13, which doesn't seem like a lot, but I can't afford to upgrade my MailChimp right now. Your video helped me set up my welcome email, which is exactly what I needed. Also, you provided the Access Class Automations link which was so helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! This video is amazing and you just saved my day :)
Many THANKS!!!
amazing! thank you!
So glad I could help.
thank you so much for this! and especially for the link to automated emails
Thank you so much! 💜
I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to do this, thank you so much! 😍
Happy to help.
Thank you so much, ma'am. you helped us so much.
This is SUPER helpful, you're the BEST
Great video, I was trying to work out a way to do this on MC myself. Thanks for the upload
I literally love you for this hack! So helpful. You have saved me a lot of trouble. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Wowowowowowowo you are a saint! thank you!
Wow I setup two trigger responses for my email, this is amazing ty so much ❤
aw thank you so much
thank you so much! Their sites still say you get one free by the classic setup isn't a choice anymore. Saved me with this!!!
You’re very welcome!!
Thank you for providing the link to Classic Automation. It was frustrating because I couldn't find it on MailChimp. I believe they purposefully hid it. I sincerely appreciate it.
Yes. Classic Automations are no longer accessible in new accounts. Glad I could get you the link.
I NEED TO SAY THAAANK YOOOUU!!!! GOD BLESS YOU! 🥰🥰🥰
Great content. Thanks for making this short and easy to follow!
Perfect!
Thanks this helped me
Thanks very much! Extremely helpful 🙏
Glad I could help!
This is brilliant, Marti! I really like the Classic Automations interface. I guess that with this hack we're limited as to the number of emails we can send because only 5 tags are available?
Thaank youuu ❤❤
You're welcome!
Splendid!
Hi there - this was super useful, also now seeing your other videos - had to stop by and say thanks for the content👍.
Glad it was helpful!
This worked for me. Thank you so much
You're welcome!
Super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
you save me! loveesss
Woo-hoo!
the best content ever! you actually saved me 10 GBP....wowow great work!!!
Awesome!
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
So glad I could help!
Very excited. Tried to set up this automation. I am unable to select add a tag as only top three selections are available.
You're absolutely right. The full use of Customer Journeys is currently only available with the Standard Package. That was an oversight on my part. Thanks. I'll add it to the description.
I loved your conciousness about everything... Why don't you set the "thank you button" (I really don't know the term in English) on your youtube ? That way we can send some thanksgiving actions... Thank you!😘
This is the most useful thing I've found online ALLL year . Seriously thank you. You inspire me to be this great for people in my work. May you be blessed with unexpected moments of dazzling sunlight.
I enjoy your reviews! Can you do another smartphone comparison between Mailchimp and Zagomail? Mailchimp are so pricey!
Great instructions !! I got stuck at 3.56 cause I dont have the non default trigger :-(
Hey, please give a video on how to make popups that can show on mobile
Very good! It was a great video. I have a question. Does the free automation option no longer exist? I tested it on old accounts of mine, and that option still exists. However, on new accounts, no. ☹
Great vid. What do you do though if you don't have 'add tag' as an option? (3.56 in)
Thank you so much! I have one question- if we are doing a 4 part welcome email series should we have it so the welcome email #1 sends immediately after sign up, email #2 one day after tagged, email #3 two days after tagged, email #4 three days after tagged? Or should each one be only 1 day after tagged since we add a different tag in the post-send action? Hope this makes sense...
You'd just do the number of days after they get the tag. So if you only want 1 day between emails, you'd just put 1 day delay.
@@SpringAheadMediaSolutions That makes sense! Thank you. Since each one adds a new tag, just 1 day after. Got it.
Thanks for the good instructions. Can you also add a birthday automation with this hack for free plans?
How do you set up welcome email, and weekly newsletter in the free version?
What is the second email meant for? What email would a subscriber want after subscribing other than the welcome email and your eventual emails announcing new posts? I'm confused. This is my first blog.
What great timing! Just one question: Does the last email in the series need the post-send action "remove tag"? I'd like my new subscribers to begin receiving my regular emails after they finish the welcome email sequence. If so, I'd need to be sure to segment my master email list with subscribers who are "not tagged". Is this correct?
I would have the last action be to remove the first tag. Then you can send your "everyone" email to everyone who does not have that first tag. They'll have that tag through the whole time they're in the series.
@@SpringAheadMediaSolutions Thanks for your quick reply. You're on top of your game. I'm subscribing !
Link didn’t work for me to see the classic version 😢
hero
All I need is cape.
Hi, thank you for this video, I still use this workaround! The start trigger I use is a tag they get from the form on my website (not a Mailchimp form). The connection is via API.
But I was wondering when someone subscribes again (like someone wants to download my ebook again) they don't receive the first email. How can I solve this problem?
The classic automations link doesn't work for me sadly, is there another way around this? I.e. using the build from scratch option?
May 10 2024--No link to use Classic Automations. I got through the first step or so, but then it came up with a "Page not found" error. So I went back to the Classic Automation and just used the Welcome Email. Hope it works. You'd think a welcome email should be a basic plan thing.
Hii! Thanks for this video! However, it says 'sending' instead of published. How long will it take to publish or did I do something wrong?
Can you do this work around to an already drafted email?
And now the "add tag" is inactive, anything I could do?
It is so confusing. Why do we need to set 2 emails or 3 ? also how do we find the first email back so we can edit it and how can we finally set it up to be sent ? I am so lost lol
Great Content, Really! hey i try to collect emails over a leanding page where there can sign up for an Ebook, is this possible too ?
Yes, you would create a Landing Page that adds a Tag to the contact, then have an automated email that sends any time some is added to that Tag
Hey there, I'm really bad at this but I didn't get whether the actual "welcome email" sent will be the 1st or the 2nd created? I mean, for one of the 2 shall I desing the welcome email template?
Thanks :)
I am also a little confused there...!
Is there a second video, please link below 👇😊
sister when I send email, the email doesn't have a logo. it just says N. How I can put my logo there ?
Why does Mailchimp hide the link to the classic automations options?? Thank you for providing this!
They're phasing them out.
Since setting up the welcome email using the link in the video's description, new subscribers are not showing up in my mailchimp account and yet people are getting a double opt in email despite me unticking the box for that. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like I completely broke my account somehow.
It sounds like the problem you’re having is with the form you’re using. Often forms with have their own checkbox for double opt-in.
Is there a way to test if the abandoned cart is working properly?
Go to your shop and put something in your cart.
@@SpringAheadMediaSolutions yes, tried that several times. Mailchimp seems to be buggy
maybe you can help? I got past the point of creating the first automated email and it won't let me go further to create automated email #2, it says i have to pay now.
nevermind, found a workaround!
You should be able to use this link again and create a new automations for your second email. If you wanted to create 1 series with more than one email in it, you'd need to upgrade your subscription. us11.admin.mailchimp.com/customer-journey/#/create-campaign/explore/emailCampaign:custom
Doesnt work anymore?
Unfortunately, this workaround no longer works. When I click "Begin" after inputting the title of the first automated email, it goes to a webpage that says, "That's odd
This page appears to be missing."
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to do a little investigating.
I just tested it and was able to get to the same screens as in the video. This was with an older free account. There are times when newer free accounts have fewer features than older ones, but it might be worth a 2nd try.
Great but doesn't work now. Classic Automations not available and the link ends at the journey now
She has a link to the old editor in the description. It worked for me just now.
Does this hack still work?
It works with the link in the description.
@@SpringAheadMediaSolutions The classic automations link doesn't work for me. Do you have any other suggestions?
I currently have a mailchimp landing page connected to my website that people can click on to subscribe to get my freebie. I have also then created an automated email sequence to go with this. All these people get added to an audience called ‘fly spray pdf’.
I have another audience called Your Horse and Pony matters and want to combine both audiences so that I have just the one audience.
However once I’ve combined these audiences I don’t want the YHPM audience members to receive the automated email sequence, but I would like any new sign ups to still receive the sequence of emails.
Is there a way of doing this?
And if so how?
Also, once I have combined my YHPM audience to the ‘Flyspray pdf’ audience can I then delete the old YHPM audience list without loosing the email addresses transferred that I have transferred across?
