What Is a Kajabi Email Sequence?
A Kajabi email sequence is a series of emails or an individual email that is sent using automations.
A trigger will start the email sequence. The trigger could be a user opting into a form, purchasing an offer, canceling an existing subscription, or anything else.
Each email is sent using pre-set time intervals, so users will receive the emails based on when they subscribe to the sequence.
Kajabi Email Sequence Differences by Plan
All Kajabi’s plans include email sequences. However, the number of contacts you can have are limited by plan.
The automations also vary by plan. On the Basic plan, only basic automations are included. The Growth and Pro plans both include advanced automations.
Basic automations allow you to use “when” triggers and “then” actions.
Advanced automations include an “if” condition.
| Basic | Growth | Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketing Emails | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Contacts | 1,000 | 25,000 | 200,000 |
| Automations | Basic | Advanced | Advanced |

The email editor works in a similar way to the page editor.

You can also click on the settings button to edit the typography, color scheme, and other settings for the email.
- Once you’re happy with the content and look of your email, click “Save.”

There are also two other options on the page. These are the following:

- Send Test Email – Check how your email looks by sending it to yourself.
- Once you’re happy with the email, click “Save.”
- Click “New Email Sequence.”
This will open the Email Sequence Overview. From here, you can do the following:
- Add, edit, and delete emails.
- Set your triggers.
- Edit your settings.

That’s how you create an email sequence.
We will now look at how to add and delete emails, add automation, and customize your emails in depth.
How to Add and Delete Emails in an Email Sequence
- Click “Marketing” and then “Email Campaigns.”
- Click on the title of the email sequence or click on the three dots and click “Edit.”

This can be incredibly useful for a variety of reasons. For example, you might have an offer with a deadline, and you could use the second email as a final reminder of the deadline.
- Click on the email you want to delete.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the email.
- Click “Delete.”

Below these reports are details of each email within the sequence. You can see how many of the emails within the sequence have been clicked, opened, and unsubscribed from.
Frequently Asked Questions
