Create an automation with GrafAI
Describe the automation in a sentence or two. GrafAI plans the trigger, the emails and the waits; you pick the source and write each email.
On the Automations page, GrafAI can plan a flow from a short description: the trigger, the emails in order and the waits between them. You check the plan, then create the automation as a draft.
Plan the automation
Click Start on the Create with GrafAI card
The card sits under Start from scratch. It shows only while GrafAI is on for your account.Describe the automation
One or two sentences are enough, for example "welcome new subscribers with three emails over a week and end with an offer". Only your description is sent, never contact data.Choose the flow size
Standard (20 credits) plans a trigger, up to three emails and the waits between them, plus a tagging or notify-your-team step when you ask for one. Advanced (40 credits) plans up to six emails and more steps. The cost shows next to the choice.Click Plan automation
The plan is usually ready in under half a minute. Cancel while you wait returns your credits.Check the plan
The plan lists the trigger and each step. Plan again makes a new plan for the same credits.Decide who writes the emails
Also write the emails with GrafAI is ticked. Each email then costs the standard draft price (20 credits) and is written from the plan and your brand settings; the total shows on the button. Untick it and the emails are created empty.Click Create automation
The draft opens on the canvas with its emails.
What you still do
GrafAI does not choose your data. On the canvas, pick the list, tag or segment for the trigger, the tag for a tagging step and the addresses for a notify-your-team step. Check every email in the editor; an empty email can still be written there with Create with GrafAI under Edit email. See Create an email with GrafAI.
A draft until you switch it on
The automation is created as a draft and sends nothing by itself. Switch it on when the source and the emails are ready.
Frequently asked questions
Does GrafAI write the emails in the automation?
No. Each email is created empty with the name, subject line and preview text from the plan. You write it in the editor, with GrafAI if you like.
Can the automation start sending on its own?
No. It is created as a draft. It sends only after you choose the list, tag or segment on the canvas and switch it on.
What does the advanced size add?
Up to six emails instead of three, plus tagging and notify-your-team steps. Branches and conditions are not planned; add them on the canvas.
