The integration with Omnisend syncs your data from Gatsby, like Instagram and influencer data, into Omnisend for automated workflows. Together, Gatsby + Omnisend unlocks new growth channels for fully automated micro-influencer marketing with your customers.

Trigger Welcome emails for customers that come from Gatsby

To send automated emails once customer from Gatsby is passed, you need to create a segment based on one of the properties that Gatsby passes along with email address and select 'exists' option.

Then create an automation based on 'Contact enters a segment' trigger and select the Gatsby segment that you've just created.

Use-case

Send different emails to customers with different amounts of Instagram followers. For example, you can create a segment of the contacts that have more than 1000 followers, but less than 10000 and send them an email campaign with discount offer, if they'll mention you on their next Instagram post.

Once they'll mention you on Instagram, Mentioned You Event will be triggered and email from the workflow will be sent.

Are contacts collected before the integration is enabled will be synced to Omnisend? No, they won't be synced to Omnisend after integration is enabled.
