Automations

Turn a winning campaign into an always-on automation.

Ranla starts with campaigns because that is how you find out what works. What works becomes an automation that runs for every user who hits that moment from then on — and it will build the standard ones you never got around to, or fix the ones you already have.

Campaign first

Ranla only promotes campaigns that beat their holdout.

A one-off send to a stalled cohort is a test with a real result. When that result beats the control group, Ranla asks to turn it into a trigger. See how it runs the week and how campaigns work from segment to holdout.

Decline and it stays a one-offApprove

Nothing goes always-on until it has beaten a holdout.

Automations are the ones that compound, so they are also the ones worth being careful about. Ranla will not promote a campaign on open rates — it promotes on the gap between the people who got the email and the people who got nothing.

Approving turns the send into a trigger. Declining leaves it as a campaign you can send again by hand.

What you get

Approve it, and this is what Ranla builds.

A visual canvas with the trigger, the wait, the condition, and the email — same editor you would use if you built it yourself.

The standard set

Welcome, activation, trial, win-back — all in one place.

These are the automations every PLG company means to build and most never finish. You can ask Ranla for any of them directly, or wait for it to notice the gap and offer.

What you already have

It works on your existing automations too.

Rewrites, retimes, and removes overlap

A welcome sequence written before half your product existed still describes the old one. Two automations firing on triggers that overlap send the same person two emails in a day. Both show up when something is actually reading them.

Suggestions come as changes you approve, not edits that appear one morning.

One frequency count across everything

Your automations, your campaigns, and Ranla's own sends share a single count per person. An automation that fired yesterday is why a campaign holds off today.

Every send limit in your dashboard applies to automations exactly as it applies to a campaign.

Run log

Every run is logged.

Automations fire on events, not on a send list — so you follow one person at a time. Who entered, which step they are on, and whether they converted.
