Subscriber list segmentation

Contacts can be organized into separate lists or segments based on criteria like signup source, past purchase, or engagement level, rather than one flat mailing list. A Beam agent reads a new signup or an update to an existing contact and applies the approved rule for which list or segment that contact belongs in. This keeps a campaign targeted at the right audience without a person manually sorting contacts as they come in. Contacts that do not clearly match any approved segment, or that trigger conflicting rules, are routed to a person to place correctly.

Automated email sequences

A series of emails can be set up to go out on a schedule or in response to a trigger, such as a welcome series after signup or a follow up after a purchase. A Beam agent starts the approved sequence for a contact once the triggering event occurs, reading the contact's current status before deciding which message in the sequence applies next. This keeps timely messages going out without someone sending each one by hand. Where a contact's status changes mid sequence in a way the rule does not cover, the case is routed to a person to adjust.

Bounce and unsubscribe handling

Every send generates delivery results, including hard bounces, soft bounces, and unsubscribe requests, which need to be reflected back on the contact record to keep the list clean. A Beam agent reads these results after a campaign goes out and applies the approved rule, such as removing a hard bounce from future sends or honoring an unsubscribe immediately. This protects sender reputation and keeps the account compliant without someone checking each result by hand. Unusual patterns, like a sudden spike in bounces, are routed to a person to investigate before the next send goes out.
