With If-campaigns, we divided the process of creating a campaign into 3 parts:
1. PATH - create a sequence of emails
2. PROSPECTS - import and add your recipients
3. SUMMARY - preview and send or save the campaign
Moreover, we introduced features that help you manage your campaigns for better results:
Condition — determined which email sequence will be sent to prospects who opened your message and those who didn't
Path YES and Path NO — depending on the action a prospect takes, they will be sent a respective follow-up sequence
Updated follow-up settings — send your follow-ups also within hours after your previous email was sent
NONRESPONSIVE — a local status that is assigned to prospects who don't respond to any message within that campaign
Step 1: Create a Path
Here you can read what features you can use to enhance your campaign's performance.
ADD CONDITION
You can add one condition at any place in your email sequence. This condition splits your Path into another two: Path YES and Path NO.
Simply put, now you can decide what email your prospects will receive next. If the prospects perform the action determined by the condition, Woodpecker will send them emails from Path YES. If not, then Woodpecker will send the sequence from Path NO.
What is the condition?
A condition defines the action your prospect takes, which triggers the next email from your sequence to be sent.
So if your prospect does A → Path YES starts. If a prospect doesn't do A, as expected → Path NO begins.
There are 4 types of conditions to choose from:
Open-based
If a prospect has opened an email more than X times — specify how many times (X) you want a prospect to open your email for a condition to be met. X stands for the number and it can be changed.
If a prospect has opened an email once — it's enough that a prospect opened your email at least once for a condition to be met.
Click-based
If a prospect has clicked on a link more than X times — add a tracking link in the previous mail and specify how many times (X) you want a prospect to click on a link in your email for a condition to be met.
X stands for the number and it can be changed.If a prospect has clicked on a link once — a condition is met when your prospect clicks the link in your email at least once.
Task-based
If there was a task created for a prospect and how it is resolved — add a manual task to your campaign before the condition and based on your action, whether you'll mark it as 'Done' or 'Skipped', the prospect will go to path YES or NO.
Snippet-based
If a prospect has a snippet X that equals your variable - you can specify a value in a custom field that when matched exactly with your variable, will move the prospect to path YES.
If a prospect has a snippet X that contains your variable - you can specify a value in a custom field that, when partly matched with your variable, will move the prospect to path YES.
If a prospect has a snippet X that is not empty - you can create different emails for prospects that have some data in custom filed, as those will meet the condition and go to path YES.
REMOVE CONDITION
Hover over the condition so the red X appears.
Click X and then confirm with the red button "Yes, I'm sure".
What will happen to the emails in the sequence?
Removing the condition will delete all emails from Path NO.
When is removing conditions disabled?
You can't remove the condition when some of your prospects have already met it and the emails were sent to them.
Keep in mind that adding a condition to a running campaign by accident can split it into two paths, and you won't be able to delete it if even one message is sent after the condition is met.
YES/NO
By adding a condition you create 2 Paths: Path YES and Path NO.
Path YES
For the prospects who opened your email within a certain time (days or hours).
If the selected condition is met, that is if your prospect opened your email more than X times, Woodpecker will send them the message from the Path YES next.
Path NO
For those recipients who didn't open your email within a certain time.
If your prospect didn't open your email within the time you set in the time window (specified in days or hours), the follow-up from Path NO will be sent to them.
Here's what your campaign looks like after adding a condition. Switch between the Paths by clicking YES and NO.
Now you can add more emails to each sequence. When all of the emails are sent and no response is registered from a prospect, they are marked with a NONRESPONSIVE status.
This is a local status, which means that you can see it only within the campaign. Learn more.
Step 2: Add prospects
First, add your prospects manually or import them either from a CSV, XLS, or XLSX file or Prospects database.
In the example below, you can see 3 prospects who were added to the campaign. You can filter them by Status, Campaign, whether they were contacted or not, the file they were Imported from, and the Tags. Learn more about tagging your prospects.
Step 3: Summary
See an overview of your campaign:
Send from
The email address you use for sending this campaign.

How many emails you have in each Path.
Prospects

Preview
We encourage you to preview your campaign even before sending a test email.
Take a look at your emails and check what they will look like once they are sent.
Preview Path YES and Path NO by switching between them.
Paths are marked in green and blue colors respectively so you can quickly distinguish one from another.
