Email Touch is used to send emails to prospects. There are two types of Email Touches available in Cadence. They are as follows:

• Auto Email – Used to send emails automatically to the prospects without manual intervention
• Personalize Email – Used to preview the email content before sending it to prospects

Below you can find how to create an Email Touch: 

1. In the View Cadence window, click the Email Touch button at the top-right of the page.

2. After the Add Email Touch window pops up, provide the General Info details and define the Workflow Action(s).

General Info

• Email Touch Type – Select the email touch type from the dropdown. The available options are:

o   New Email – Choose to send a new Email to the prospect

o   Reply Email – Choose to send a follow-up reply email with a parent email maintaining the email thread so prospects will have access to the previous email

NOTE: The Reply Email option will not be available for your first Email Touch.

For the consecutive Email touches, you can choose a different Email Touch Type.

• Personalize Email before send – Select this option to preview the email content before sending it to the prospects. The emails will be logged in the To Do tab when the touch is ready to be completed.

Upon selecting this option, the Select Schedule Type and Choose a Schedule field will be replaced with Maximum Time to complete the Touch field. Select the maximum time you wish for the prospects to stay in the To Do tab (in minutes/hours/days) for preview. If the touch is not completed in that time frame, the emails will fall under the touch outcome - ‘Fall Through’. They will then be moved to the next touch.

Select to move the prospects (assigned to this scheduled Email Touch) to the next touch automatically when the touch execution fails due to any technical issue.

Use Prospect Timezone if available – This option will be displayed upon selecting the Schedule Type 'Send by exact date/time'. Select to send emails on the Prospects' timezone, if available
