Use Case

1. Order Total

  • Use Case: Trigger an automation for customers whose order total meets a certain threshold (e.g., > $100). This could be useful to send personalized thank-you emails, loyalty rewards, or special discounts to high-spending customers to encourage future purchases.

2. Language

  • Use Case: Tailor emails and content in the customer’s preferred language based on their browser or previous interactions. This ensures a personalized experience and can help boost engagement and conversion rates.

3. Currency

  • Use Case: Trigger region-specific pricing or promotions. For example, if a customer is browsing in GBP, show them offers that are most relevant to the UK or offer free shipping for orders in that region.

4. User Roles

  • Use Case: Segment emails based on user roles such as “New Customer,” “VIP,” or “Wholesale.” For instance, send VIP users exclusive offers or reward programs, while new customers could receive a welcome discount.

5. Category Name

  • Use Case: Trigger specific automations based on the product category a customer interacts with. For example, customers browsing "Electronics" could receive recommendations for complementary products like chargers or cases.

6. Category IDs

  • Use Case: Automate follow-up emails for customers who have purchased items from certain categories (by ID). If a customer purchases from a "Skincare" category, send skincare-related tips, product recommendations, or refill reminders.

7. Product Name

  • Use Case: Create targeted post-purchase follow-ups or pre purchase automations for specific products. For example, after purchasing a "Yoga Mat," the customer could be sent offers for yoga accessories or a wellness subscription plan.

8. Product ID

  • Use Case: Create targeted post-purchase follow-ups or pre purchase automations for specific products. For example, after purchasing a "Bluetooth Speaker," the customer could be sent offers for related accessories like speaker stands or headphones.

9. Variant ID

  • Use Case: Tailor post-purchase emails based on the specific variant a customer purchased. For example, if a customer buys a "Red T-shirt" in a specific size, they could receive offers for similar shirts in different colors or matching accessories.

10. Buyer Accepts Marketing

  • Use Case: Send marketing emails or exclusive offers only to customers who have opted in for communications. For example, after a customer accepts marketing, you could send them personalized discounts, promotions, or updates about new products.

11. Geolocation

  • Use Case: Personalize marketing messages based on the customer's location. For instance, offer discounts on warm clothing to customers in colder regions or showcase products that are popular in their area.

12. Placed Order

  • Use Case: Trigger post-purchase workflows, such as thank-you emails, product review requests, or loyalty reward notifications. This can enhance customer satisfaction and foster repeat purchases.
