IF opened within 24h:
  → Wait 1 day, send Email 2 (engaged!)
ELSE not opened:
  → Wait 3 days, send different subject line, retry
  
EMAIL 2 sent
    ↓
IF link clicked:
  → Immediately send targeted follow-up based on link clicked
ELSE no click:
  → Wait 2 days, send Email 3 (different angle)

= Dynamic nurture adapts to engagement level

☑ Audience-specific content (not generic)
☑ Value in every email (not just pitches)
☑ Logical progression (education → proof → offer)
☑ Personalization ({{firstName}} minimum)
☑ Clear CTAs (what do you want them to do?)
☑ Multi-channel approach (email + SMS)
☑ Re-engagement for non-openers

☑ Metrics tracking (know what works)
