Describe what you want the automation to do, and Reach generates a plan showing the goal, trigger, email sequence, and timing before anything is created. Review the plan, request changes if needed, then confirm it to build the automation. Until 20 November 2026, Reach also offers a Black Friday automation that you can claim from a one-sentence description of your offer.<\/p><h3>Before you start<\/h3><ul>\n<li>You need a Hostinger Reach account connected to the Automations page.
