Welcome letters are sent...

  • When a subscriber confirms their subscription through the opt-in email sent by Letterhead, a welcome letter is sent.
  • There's an option to Send a welcome letter when the admin creating subscriber manually.

NOTE: Welcome letters are not sent if a subscriber is imported directly into the status “Subscribed,” whether manually, through CSV upload, or through Zapier.

We’re currently working on an option for all import methods to allow you to manually trigger welcome letters for any imported/added subscriber(s).

How to trigger welcome letters via Zapier:

  1. Set up your action to add the Subscriber with status “Not Subscribed.”
  2. Set the Opt-In field to “Yes.” 
  3. This combination of options will result in a subscriber added through this Zap to receive an opt-in confirmation email from Letterhead. 
  4. Once the subscriber confirms their subscription via this email, they will automatically be moved to status “Subscribed,” and receive a welcome letter(s) in the channel.
