Marketing Automation

By Dan Kurtz Updated 1 min read

Marketing automation is software that runs marketing tasks automatically based on rules and triggers you set once. Executes email sequences, moves contacts through funnels, scores leads, and hands off qualified prospects to sales without a person deciding each step.

Modern marketing automation platforms include AI features on top of rule-based automation. The core concept is unchanged: replace repeated manual marketing work with automated workflows.
