# Welcome email sequence in Kit

## When to use

Owners building an email list who want every signup welcomed the same way. Once the sequence is active and connected, emails send on their own, so proof every email before you publish.

## Steps

1. Draft the 3 welcome emails with the prompt below: the promise you made at signup, your best starter resource, and one story plus an offer.
2. In Kit, create a new Email Sequence and add the emails, per Kit's help guide.
3. Set each email's send timing. Kit's guide describes sending the first as soon as possible and later emails after a delay in hours or days.
4. Set the overall send schedule. Kit lets you skip days, for example weekends, and pauses everything when no day is checked.
5. Publish the emails and activate the sequence. Kit notes published emails send only once the sequence is activated.
6. Create a Visual Automation with your form as the entry point so new subscribers enter the sequence, per Kit's automation guide.
7. Subscribe yourself with a spare address and read every email as it arrives.

## Prompt

Fill the [BRACKETED] parts with the user, then follow this prompt:

```
Draft my 3 welcome emails.

Business: [NAME, what you do, who you help]
What people signed up for: [LEAD MAGNET or PROMISE]
My best starter resource: [LINK or ATTACHMENT]
One short story about a customer result: [3 or 4 FACTS]
My offer: [PRODUCT or SERVICE, PRICE]

Write 3 emails, each under 150 words:
1. Deliver the signup promise and say what comes next
2. Share the starter resource and one quick win
3. Tell the story and make the offer once

Rules:
- Use only the facts I gave you. No invented results or testimonials.
- Plain words, one idea per email.
- Show me the drafts first. Do not send anything.
```

## Guardrails

- Draft first and show the user. Never send, post, pay, book, cancel or delete without the user's explicit approval of that exact action.
- Use only facts the user gives you or that you can cite. If something is missing, ask instead of guessing.

## Common snags

- The sequence stays quiet until it is activated, per Kit's guide. Check the toggle before you call it done.
- An automation entry point is what puts form subscribers into the sequence. Publishing alone connects nothing.
- Weekend gaps can stack emails. Check the per-email send days against the overall schedule.
