An email automation flow diagram shows how an automated email sequence runs from a trigger event through timed steps, conditional branches, and exit points.

It makes the logic of a drip or nurture campaign visible at a glance.

It is ideal for planning an email automation flow before you build it, reviewing the logic with stakeholders, and debugging why a drip campaign sends the wrong message.
