How many emails should be in a welcome sequence?
Four emails is a strong starting point: immediate welcome, brand proof, guided product discovery, and a final next-step or offer reminder inside the early purchase window.

Best practices
Useful before you sign in.
Send the first welcome email immediately after signup, then use exact waits such as 2 days, 2 days, and 3 days between follow-up sends.
Cover the early 10-day decision window with useful orientation, proof, and a clear first-purchase path.
Temporarily suppress subscribers in the welcome series from regular calendar sends so they are not overloaded.
Use splits for customer vs. non-customer status, channel consent, or offer reminders when your list is large enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should the first welcome email say?
It should acknowledge the signup, set expectations, and point to one clear action such as browsing best sellers, completing setup, or using a welcome offer.
Can Emailgic make this a Klaviyo draft flow?
For supported lifecycle cases, Emailgic can sync a Klaviyo draft flow after the account is connected and the trigger can be matched. You still review and activate it in Klaviyo.
Can I create just one welcome email instead?
Yes. Use the single welcome email generator when you only need one template rather than a full sequence.
Generate the flow, then the emails.
Review timing and strategy first, then turn each node into a responsive email template.
