Trigger Email Drip Campaign with Workflow Processes and Process Builder in Salesforce

Workflow Processes and Process Builder enables you to trigger emails based on a number of actions, such as when records are created or updated, or a certain amount of time has passed. While you may know how to send drip emails in Salesforce directly, Process Builder gives you full control over when, how, and where these emails are sent. The Process Builder uses templates within Salesforce to format emails, so the amount of customization you need to do is limited.

Your email drip campaign in Salesforce can be sent to leads, contacts, cases, opportunity contacts, accounts, and users. Triggers can be related to the record updating process for each. Another advantage to this is that the emails sent through Process Builder can then be tracked.
