Ecommerce email automation

Connect storefront events to lifecycle journeys—abandonment, replenishment, and VIP retention.

Outbound link is a placeholder — swap for templates, partner programs, or gated downloads when you are ready.

Workflow overview

Email revenue scales when events are trustworthy and journeys stay boringly reliable. This workflow centers the commerce catalog as source of truth and lets marketing iterate copy without re-plumbing triggers every week.

Use it as the backbone for AI-generated variants later—models personalize best when the event graph is clean.

Step-by-step automation flow

Ordered stages you can map to triggers, queues, and owners — reuse blocks side-by-side on compare pages later.

  1. Step 1
    Sync catalog, inventory, and price changes to the ESP product feed on a schedule.
  2. Step 2
    Define journeys for browse/cart/checkout abandonment with suppression windows.
  3. Step 3
    Layer post-purchase education and replenishment based on category cadence.
  4. Step 4
    VIP branch: higher discount caps and human approval for margin-sensitive sends.
  5. Step 5
    Weekly review: revenue by journey vs holdout; pause underperformers quickly.
