Rule summary
- Spam: Spam
Works well
- Ask a specific question about how two automation platforms compare for a certain use case.
- Share a real automation challenge you ran into and ask the community how they would solve it.
- Start a discussion about a trend in email marketing or automation workflows.
- Ask for advice on building a specific automation sequence without naming your product.
Avoid
- Do not post any advertising materials, including promotional content for your own product or service.
- Do not post spam of any kind, as the community has a blanket rule against it.
- Do not drop links without context or discussion, since the community is built around open discussion rather than promotion.
What r/MarketingAutomation Is For
This is an open discussion space for marketing automation, email marketing, and the pros and cons of different automation platforms. People come here to ask questions and talk shop about automation tools and strategies. It's a room for practitioners and curious marketers, not a place to pitch products.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The only published rule is "Spam: Spam", and the public description backs it up by stating that advertising is not allowed. The policy brief confirms that moderators remove spam to keep the focus on marketing automation discussions. So the single rule that decides whether your post survives is whether a moderator reads it as spam or advertising. If your post is promotional, it breaks "Spam" and it will be removed.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine question or discussion starter about marketing automation. You could ask which platform handles a specific workflow better, or share a real challenge you faced with email automation and ask how others solved it. The goal is to contribute to the open discussion the community is built for. If you are a founder, talk about the problem you are trying to solve with automation, not the product you built to solve it.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that looks like advertising or spam. That means no promotional posts for your tool, no link drops, and no thinly veiled marketing copy. The community description says advertising is not allowed, and the only rule is "Spam", so anything promotional is fair game for removal. If your post reads like a sales pitch, it will not survive.

What kind of content can I post?
The community is focused on open discussion of marketing automation, email marketing, and automation platforms, so ask questions or start discussions rather than promoting.
Are links allowed?

Can I ask a question about which automation platform to use?
Yes, asking a question about marketing automation platforms or email marketing fits the community description perfectly.
