How to create a multi touch campaign
A multi-touch campaign lets you send multiple emails or SMS to a segment/list of users or all your subscribers. It is slightly more complicated than single touch campaigns, but it lets you create an elaborate flow of messages that you can send over several days.
You can split your audience based on certain conditions and send them separate messages, e.g., people who placed more than five orders can be sent a different message, and the remaining can be sent another message. You can also A/B test two different email messages and measure how they perform.
The messages (email or SMS) you want to send
Who do you want to send it to (a list or segment of users)
When do you want to send it (i.e., schedule)
The order of messages and conditions, if any
