You can now decide whether new contacts automatically receive the welcome email after an import or when a contact is created. This is useful when you are importing a large list and do not want to trigger a burst of welcome emails to everyone at once.
Where to find it
Go to Messages > Automated and open Email Template Settings.
Use the Send Welcome Email After Import / Contact Creation toggle to turn the behavior on or off.
When the toggle is off, the Welcome Email template row is hidden and no welcome email is sent for newly imported contacts.
Good to know
Welcome-on-import is off by default, so existing organizations are not surprised by a sudden email send after a large import.
Only newly imported or created contacts are affected. Updating existing contacts through an import never triggers the welcome email.
