Start and run automations to connect with customers at critical moments in their journey—from subscribing to your newsletter to placing their first order and every milestone in between.

A workflow automation named 'customer winback template' that has a trigger to start when an order is fulled, a condition to check if the entire order has been fulfilled, another condition to wait for 60 days, another condition to check if a customer did not make a new order since the wait step, and an action to send marketing email.

Choose conditions

Decide how automations should run based on conditions that increase the chances of your message reaching the right customer at the right time. Send a message before an order is placed, a delivery is made, or on a special occasion.

Set timing and cool-down periods

Determine when messages should reach customers, even based on a previous action like a purchase. Include wait steps in your workflows to space out messages and create the right email cadence.
