To configure the elements and publish the template as a workflow you’ll need an [automation message](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-does-a-marketing-automation-message-work.html) or a message that can be used as an automation message.

Configuring the template
------------------------

If an element is greyed out, it means that you need to set its properties. Clicking on an element opens its **Properties**.

1.  The **Subscribed via** condition is preset to any list and any method. Optionally, you can modify the settings to better suit your needs. Under the **Properties** tab for the element, use the drop-downs to narrow it down by list and method.
2.  In the **Send message** element, use the drop-downs to select your welcome message.
3.  Click **Publish** when you’re done setting up the template or **Save and exit** if you want to finish editing the template later (it will appear as a draft on the **Manage workflows** page).
