Macros
Using macros in emails lets you:

- Offer them unique promo codes.
- Change the number of the discount based on the customer’s status.
- Recommend specific goods based on the customer’s preferences.
You can add macros to the email headers, email preheaders, the sender’s name and email, the body and subject of the email. You can also customize email images using macros.
This approach can improve your users’ loyalty and avoid spam filter due to each of the emails being unique.

Trigger emails
Trigger emails let you interact with each subscriber based on their behavior on the website or related to the previous emails.
A trigger in this case is an event that initiates sending a personalized email.
The following triggers are used most often for follow-up emails.
Trigger | Email subject |
Purchase | Thank you for purchase |
Proceeding to order | Order details |
No reaction to the email | Discount offer |
Email subscription | A welcome message |

Base segmentation
Audience segmentation is useful for tailoring the emails settings based on the audience’s interests and preferences. You can segment your audience based on the following parameters:
- activity
- preferences
- life cycle
- demographics
- location
You can change the email content depending on the recipients’ segment using the dynamic content settings. Audience segmentation in Creatio relies on the information in the contact profile, including location, purchase history, website activities, gender, age, etc. Personal and relevant content ensures the email efficiency in general while decreasing marketing email expenses targeted at separate audience segments.
