Let’s get started with Click Funnels email automation:

1.  Login to your ClickFunnels account 👇
![1.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/mailmodo/image/upload/f_auto,q_100/v1696478333/strapi/1_ed468e89a9.png)
2. Go to the marketing tab and select the workflows.
![Workflows](https://res.cloudinary.com/mailmodo/image/upload/f_auto,q_100/v1696478619/strapi/2_e4fa3a2d19.png)
3. From the workflow dashboard, click the button marked Add New Workflow.
![3.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/mailmodo/image/upload/f_auto,q_100/v1696479214/strapi/3_b9a7b32a6f.png)
4. Now, find yourself on a page asking for details, including a name and run type, where you can type in any name (tip: you’ll remember for this workflow) and select a run type.
![4.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/mailmodo/image/upload/f_auto,q_100/v1696479346/strapi/4_7d77b8560b.png) You can pick from the three options from the run type.
    

-   **Multiple runs per contact (simultaneous)**- will run the workflow every time it is triggered, even if it happens simultaneously with another contact.
    
-   **Multiple runs per contact ( back to back)** - will do much the same, except it will wait for the first workflow to finish for a contact before it starts sending the next one to the same contact.
    
-   **Only one run** - will run the workflow once for a given email address. It is a great choice if you're worried about spamming contact that might hit the trigger or trigger a workflow multiple times.
