Automations is a powerful new feature in the Uscreen admin area that helps you nurture leads, onboard new members, and keep your existing members engaged, without relying on third-party tools like Mailchimp or Zapier.
This feature is currently in limited beta, and we’re actively improving it based on feedback. You may encounter bugs and limitations.
Why Use Automations?
Email remains one of the most effective tools for running a successful subscription business. Automations allows you to send timely emails based on member activity right from within Uscreen.
Use Automations to:
Convert free trials and leads into paying members
Welcome and guide new subscribers
Run drip campaigns that keep members active and engaged
Add or remove tags to help segment your audience for future campaigns
How Automations Work
Each automation includes:
Trigger – The event that starts the automation (e.g., a subscription purchase)
Optional Filter – Conditions to narrow down who qualifies (e.g., only monthly plans)
Actions – What happens next (e.g., send emails, add tags, wait for a time delay)
You can build custom flows using combinations of these building blocks.
Example Use Case: Onboarding Sequence
Here’s an example of an automation that welcomes a new paid subscriber:
Trigger: Subscription purchased
Filter: Plan is "Monthly Web" or "Yearly Web"
Actions:
Add a tag:
web_onboardingSend Email 1: Welcome to your new membership!
Wait 24 hours
Send Email 2: How to get started
Wait 48 hours
Send Email 3: Download the app
Wait 72 hours
Send Email 4: Here’s a popular video to watch next
Remove the tag:
web_onboarding
This “tag sandwich” lets you track when a user enters and exits an automation sequence.
How to Create a New Automation
Go to Marketing > Automations in your Uscreen admin.
Click Create New Automation.
Select a trigger (e.g., subscription purchased).
Add filters if needed.
Add your actions:
Apply or remove tags
Send emails (with subject, body, CTAs, etc.)
Add delays between messages using Wait steps
Customize your emails using the visual editor.
Click Publish when you're ready.
Once published, any member who matches the criteria will automatically go through the flow. And will help our filter members from being in multiple automations at the same time.
Managing Automations
From the Automations dashboard, you can:
View and edit existing automations
Duplicate or delete automations
Set an automation to Draft or Published
Monitor how many users have entered each automation
Tags & Filters: Optional but Powerful
Tags help you track, segment, and personalize your marketing efforts. While optional, tags can be used in:
Filters within automations (coming soon)
Audience targeting for future email broadcasts (coming soon)
What’s Next
Automations is still in its early stages and currently supports:
Trigger: Subscription purchase, trial, canceled
Actions: Send emails, apply/remove tags, wait steps
Filters: Subscription, bundles, status, etc.
We’re actively expanding functionality to include:
More triggers
More filters logic
Additional action types
Tags
