How Does Email Studio Work?
Email Studio (Salesforce Marketing Cloud) lets you build, personalize, segment, and send high-volume emails at scale—backed by first-party data, automation, and rich analytics to drive revenue and loyalty.
Email Studio organizes email marketing into five core jobs: Data (audiences & data extensions), Content (templates, assets, dynamic rules), Segmentation (filters, SQL, exclusions), Send & Automate (single, batch, triggered, Journey Builder integration), and Measure (deliverability, engagement, conversions). You use customer attributes and behaviors to personalize messages, schedule or trigger sends, and track performance to continuously improve.

Connect → Model → Build → Segment → Test/Send → Automate → Analyze
