Email Marketing Guide

Christy Cook Updated by Christy Cook

DailyStory's email marketing engine helps you send targeted and personalized emails. Emails can be sent with automations, individually or by scheduling. For sent emails, DailyStory automatically tracks delivery, opens, clicks, opt-outs, and bounces.

To send emails in DailyStory from your current domain, we integrate with MailGun. DailyStory can configure this service for you or you can do it yourself.

Typical email examples

  • Welcome a new customer
  • Follow-ups
  • Subscription newsletters
  • Weekly or monthly product/service promotion
  • Tips or other educational material
