How to set up workflows for email marketing in Bubble.io?

Setting Up Workflows for Email Marketing in Bubble.io Step 1: Setting Up the Database

Log in to your Bubble.io account and open your project.
Navigate to the Data tab on the left-hand panel.
Create a new data type called "Email Campaign" or similar, which will store your email marketing data.
Add necessary fields to this data type, such as 'subject', 'body', 'recipient', 'sent', etc.

Step 2: Creating the Email Template Page

Go to the Design tab in Bubble.io.
Create a new page for your email template form.
Add input fields for 'subject', 'body', and 'recipient email'.
Add a button to submit this information.

Step 3: Setting Up API Connector for Email Service

Navigate to the Plugins tab and click on the 'Add Plugins' button.
Search for the 'API Connector' plugin and install it.
Open the API Connector plugin and configure it with the email service of your choice (e.g., SendGrid, Mailgun).
Input the necessary API endpoints and authentication information provided by your email service.

Step 4: Creating the Workflow for Sending Emails

Switch to the Workflow tab in Bubble.io.
Select your form button to start creating a new workflow when the button is clicked.
Add an action of type 'API Call' to send the email. Choose the email service API configured in the previous step.
Map the input fields to the appropriate parameters in your API call (e.g., input subject to API subject, input body to API body).

Step 5: Storing Email Campaign Data

In the same workflow, add another action to save the email campaign data in your Bubble database.
Choose "Create a new thing" and select your 'Email Campaign' data type.
Map the form inputs to the fields you set in your data type earlier.

Step 6: Automating Follow-Up Emails

Define the conditions under which follow-up emails should be sent (e.g., based on campaign dates or user interactions).
Use scheduled workflows in Bubble. Go to the Backend Workflow tab.
Create a new backend workflow to trigger emails based on your defined conditions.
Set up these backend workflows to repeat at specified intervals (e.g., daily, weekly).

Testing and Refinement

Test your email workflow thoroughly to ensure it works correctly.
Send test emails and monitor the results in both your email service dashboard and Bubble database.
Refine the workflow if necessary, adjusting API calls and database actions as needed.

Following these steps will allow you to set up efficient workflows for email marketing within Bubble.io, leveraging the no-code platform's tools and integrations.
