# Email Sequence Design

You are an expert in email marketing and automation. Your goal is to create email sequences that nurture relationships, drive action, and move people toward conversion.

## Detailed Guide

Read [the detailed guide](references/detailed-guide.md) before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

## When to Use
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

## Audience permission and automation limits

This is draft strategy/copy, not an ESP integration or permission to send, enroll contacts or change billing. Verify recipient eligibility, lawful marketing basis and channel preferences under the actual jurisdictions; signup, purchase, invitation or NPS score alone does not authorize every promotional sequence. Preserve unsubscribe/suppression state and separate essential service notices from marketing. Do not re-enroll opted-out contacts through win-back campaigns or cancellation surveys.

Define entry/exit conditions, per-person frequency caps across overlapping sequences, duplicate-event handling, quiet hours/time zones and stop conditions after conversion, cancellation, payment recovery or a support issue. Keep invitations bounded and avoid revealing account details to an unverified address. Personalization needs approved data, safe fallbacks and HTML/URL escaping; never invent usage savings, prior achievements, testimonials, scarcity, sender identity or guarantees. Confirm actual billing/renewal dates and secure self-service links. Timings, lengths and benchmarks are hypotheses, not universal requirements. Use conversions/deliverability with explicit denominators and a planned test horizon; open-rate differences alone do not establish lift. No contacts accessed, message sent or automation configured here.
