Building your first workflow is straightforward with Email | Govaio's visual builder. Let us walk through creating a common automation: automatically following up with new contacts who do not reply to your initial email.

Go to Workflows and click "Create Workflow." Give it a name like "New Contact Follow-up" and click "Open Builder." You will see a blank canvas with a Start node.

First, add a trigger by clicking the plus icon on the Start node. Select "Email Sent" as the trigger type. This means the workflow will start whenever you send an email to a contact. You can add filter conditions on the trigger, such as only triggering for emails with a specific tag or from a specific email account.

Next, add a "Wait" action and set the delay to 3 days. This gives the recipient time to see and respond to your email before the follow-up kicks in.

After the wait, add a "Condition" node to check whether the contact has replied. Select "Has replied" as the condition. If yes, the workflow ends (the contact engaged and does not need a follow-up). If no, the workflow continues to the next step.

On the "No" branch, add a "Send Email" action. Compose your follow-up email here. You might say something like "Just checking in on my previous email" with a brief reminder of your original message.

Save and activate the workflow. From now on, every email you send will automatically get a follow-up after 3 days if the contact has not replied. You can view the results in Workflow Logs to see how many contacts received follow-ups and whether engagement improved.

Tip: Start simple and iterate. Once you are comfortable with basic workflows, explore more advanced features like multi-branch conditions, webhook integrations, and nested workflows.
