_**Note:**_ if you need to add a trigger to this workflow, do that first. If you will be manually adding your leads to this workflow then a trigger will be unnecessary.

* Once you have all the fields filled out, click on Save Action.

_**Note:**_ If you want to send additional follow-up emails, it is suggested that you add a Wait step in between the Send Email action steps to give time between emails. You can add minutes, hours, or days.
