Email campaigns vs task reminders

Tallyfy is a workflow management platform - not an email marketing tool. It doesn’t send broadcast email campaigns like Mailchimp or HubSpot would.

However, Tallyfy’s built-in task reminders serve a similar purpose for your existing contacts. When someone has an assigned task, they receive:

  • Daily digest emails listing their overdue tasks first, then ones coming up
  • Manual reminders that you send about a specific task when it needs a nudge
  • An email when a rule shows them a step that stayed hidden until an earlier step was done

The digest goes out on each person’s chosen days, so you don’t need to chase every task by hand.

Tallyfy is built for warm, known connections - clients, partners, vendors, and team members who need to complete work. For cold outreach or mass marketing, use a dedicated email platform and connect it to Tallyfy via middleware if you need the responses to trigger workflows.
