Email Automations

Email automations let you trigger actions when email delivery events occur. The most common use case is automatically tagging customers with an “Invalid Email” tag when their email bounces, making it easy to find and fix problematic addresses.
Email automations work together with the Email Health & Bounce Suppression system, which automatically blocks emails to bounced addresses.

Default Automation: Bounce Tagging

PayRequest comes with a pre-built automation template: Email Bounce → Add Invalid Email Tag This automation:
  1. Triggers when a customer’s email bounces
  2. Creates an “Invalid Email” tag (red) if it doesn’t exist
  3. Attaches the tag to the affected customer

Navigate to Automations from the sidebar.
2

Click Create Automation — the bounce tagging template is pre-filled.
3

Automatic Tag Cleanup

When you update a customer’s email address to a different one, PayRequest automatically removes any tags that were added by email bounce automations. This means fixing an email address also cleans up the “Invalid Email” tag without manual work.
Combine bounce tagging with the Email Issues filter on the customer list to quickly review and fix all affected customers at once.
