Offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for complex marketing workflows.

The visual automation engine is arguably the most recognized in the B2B marketing space. Marketers can construct extremely complex, multi-branching automated journeys using a simple drag-and-drop interface. Workflows can be triggered by almost any behavioral event (e.g., page view, email click, form submission) and can involve highly nuanced logic (e.g., 'if user opened the email, wait 2 days then send SMS; if they didn't, send reminder email'). This makes it an effective tool for managing sophisticated lead nurturing and customer onboarding programs without requiring technical development support.
