Solved: Auto path vs. auto series - Constant Contact Community

What is the difference between an automated path and an automated series? They look the same on the surface but there must be a reason to choose one over the other.

What do you all use each for?

Hello @NikkiM4410 ,

Automation paths are the current builder used for automation. Automation series is the term for the older builder that existed prior to the automation path. Older plans - Email, Email Plus, Core, Plus - will only have access to the Series builder, and can try out the path system. The current plans - Lite, Standard, Premium - will only have access to APB, unless the account already had access to the series builder previously.
