When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use when there are multiple gated assets (ebooks, guides, templates), each behind its own form, and topic-relevant follow-up matters more than one generic sequence.
  • Use as the entry point before persona or industry branching happens further downstream.

Skip it

  • Do not use for a single one-off asset with no related content to offer next. One automated email is enough there.
  • Do not use unmodified if the same contact can download several assets in one week. Add the cooldown property described below or contacts get flooded.
