Wonder why there was no Day 0 in the process of creating your Autoresponder? It’s because we assume that this is the welcome message that will be sent immediately after your leads sign up. Each next Autoresponder will have the option to choose the day of the cycle. Note that you can always change the day of the cycle for all your Autoresponders. Visit this section to find out how to do it.
