Watch your automations list grow as your site grows

All businesses are different and benefit from different automations. As you build your site, Wix will install automations specific to the apps you're using. For example, if you add a Wix Blog to your site, you'll automatically notify members of new posts and notify followers of new comments. You can deactivate these "Installed for you" automations at any time.

Benefit from the automations we recommend for your business

In addition to your "Installed for you" automations, you'll see Wix's suggested automations on your Automations page. These are specific to your business type and the apps you've added to your site. They are listed by business benefit to help you choose: "Sell more online", "Engage with clients", and more. Take our recommendations or create your own automations from scratch.

No matter which apps your automations are connected to, you'll be able to view all automations on your Automations page. Here, you can see automation summaries and key information, such as total trigger count and most recent trigger date. You'll also be able to make edits, instantly activate or deactivate, and filter your automation list.

Reach out with automated emails and track their success

Automating the process of sending an email is one of the most popular automations. Automatically send emails to acknowledge form submissions, remind customers about abandoned carts, and more.

All email automations include email statistics. These provide valuable information around email success rate and how recipients have interacted. View details such as total emails delivered and opened, which links were clicked, and how many recipients visited your site.
