ShopMagic automation. How is it built?

👉🏿 Here’s an example of typical automation created in our plugin:

👉🏿 As you can see, it consists of three elements, which are Event, Filter, and Action.

• An Event is a trigger, or condition for which your automation should run. A typical example of the Event is “Order Completed”.
• Filters can be added if you want to segment your customers and send your email to a selected group of users only.
• Action is the most important field. It is also a bit more complicated, so I took another screenshot to explain all of its fields:

➡️ Here is a brief explanation of some of the most important fields: ⬅️

1. Description. In other words, the title for your automation.
2. To and BCC. In the “To” field, you can define the main recipient of your email. BCC is optional but can be used in every automation.
3. Subject and Heading of your email.
4. Template. Choose from a WooCommerce template or none.
5. Message. It is an essential part of every action. Here you can write your message to the customer.
6. Unsubscribe field. Optional field for unsubscribing from your mailing list.
7. The main hero 🦸‍♂️ of this article – the PDF Attachments field.

Attach a PDF file to a custom WooCommerce email

As shown by the above screenshots, ShopMagic has a dedicated field to add email attachments. Simple as that. You just have to click on it and select a file from your WordPress Media. It can be one or more attachments, as you prefer.

How to add a PDF manual to emails per WooCommerce product

👉🏿 The typical use-case of using a PDF attachment filed with our automation is to send a manual or guide to a customer who purchased a specified product.

You can do it by creating automation for Order Completed, adding a product filter (thanks to it this email will be sent to customers who bought a specified product only), and then adding a message and manual of the corresponding product as a PDF attachment.

🎉 That’s it! Your customer will not only receive the product but also a manual on how to properly use it!
