When Robots Send Love Letters: The Hilarious World of Email Campaign Automation

Updated: Sep 24, 2023

In the grand tradition of automation, we've managed to take even the most personal aspect of our lives—communication—and hand it over to robots. Yes, we're talking about email campaign automation, the art of making sure your inbox is flooded with messages that sound like they were written by an overly enthusiastic cyborg. So, let's take a humorous journey into the world of automated email campaigns, where machines become poets and marketing becomes a madcap adventure!



Email automation: because why write your own emails when you can let robots craft comedic masterpieces for your inbox? 😄🤖

Subject Lines: The Gateway to Crazytown


We all know that a good subject line is the key to getting your email opened. But in the wild world of automation, the subject lines sometimes read like they were generated by a demented AI trying to blend in with humans:

  • "URGENT: You Won a Free Toaster Oven! (Just kidding, it's a newsletter.)"

  • "Your Cat Called Us: Exclusive Feline News Inside"

  • "Do You Like Tacos? Of Course, You Do. Open This Email!"

Personalization or Alien Abduction?


Email automation loves to tout "personalization," but sometimes it's more like an alien trying to understand human emotions. You might get an email like this:

"Hello [First Name], we hope you're enjoying [Last Product Purchased]! We've been watching you closely, I mean, monitoring your activity, and we think you'll also love [Product Completely Unrelated to Your Interests]."


The Over-the-Top Enthusiastic Email


Ever received an email that feels like it's shouting at you with all caps and excessive exclamation marks? It's like the email equivalent of an overly cheerful morning person:


"HELLO THERE, FRIEND! WE'RE EXCITED TO SHARE OUR AMAZING OFFER WITH YOU!!! YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW INCREDIBLE IT IS!!!!!!"


The "We Miss You" Guilt Trip


Automated emails are often designed to make you feel like you've neglected your long-lost best friend:

"Hi, it's us again. We've been crying ourselves to sleep because you haven't opened our emails. Please come back! We'll stop sending you pictures of our products at 3 AM... maybe."


The "Oops, We Made a Mistake" Blunder


Sometimes, automation gets it wrong, and you'll receive an email that makes you wonder if the company needs to hire a proofreader, or at least a functioning spell-check:


"Dear Costumer, We're sory for any inconvienience our last email may have coused. Pleese ignore any mistakes as they were definitly not intended. We look foward to your contunued support."


The Email That Never Ends


Ever open an email from a brand, only to find that you have to scroll through what feels like the entire Encyclopedia Britannica to get to the end? It's as if they're trying to break a Guinness World Record for the longest marketing email:


"Dear [Your Name], here's a story about our company's history, our mission statement, testimonials from 1000 satisfied customers, 25 tips on how to use our products, our founder's favorite recipes, and a step-by-step guide to building a treehouse. And, oh yeah, there's a discount code buried somewhere in here too!"


Email campaign automation can be both a blessing and a source of amusement. While it's true that automation streamlines marketing efforts, it sometimes produces unintentionally hilarious emails that make you scratch your head in wonder. So, next time you receive an email that reads like it's from a sci-fi comedy, just remember: the robots are trying their best to make us laugh, one bizarre email at a time!
