About marketing automation

Before we will move to the main topic of this article, which are WooCommerce email notifications, a few words about marketing automation in general.

So, what exactly is marketing automation 🤔?

One of the definitions which I found says that it is a “technology that manages marketing processes and multifunctional campaigns, across multiple channels, automatically”. The rest of the definitions which you can find are similar and a little too technical from my perspective. Because they don’t tell anything about the benefits of implementing marketing automation in the WooCommerce stores.

➡️ So, here’s mine – Through the proper implementation of marketing automation, you will be saving time, earning more money, and last but not least building customer loyalty. What is even better, all of these will happen at the same time 🪄!

⭐ Sounds good right? You can read more about the marketing automation plugin for WooCommerce.

💡 With ShopMagic, you will be able to send email notifications for every WooCommerce order status. ShopMagic supports custom order statuses too, so feel free to create your own.

In the previous section ⤴️, I wrote about some of the features available in ShopMagic, but that’s not all. Our plugin has at least two other advantages over standard WooCommerce emails 💣.

1️⃣ First, you can personalize them to fit your needs. This includes an email created in HTML which you can send with ShopMagic, and it will look exactly like in your editor.

2️⃣ Secondly, ShopMagic has a built-in feature called Outcomes. It is our version of logs. Thanks to it, you can check your emails. No need to install additional plugins: how to create an email list and marketing opt-ins in WordPress & WooCommerce?.

The power of ShopMagic add-ons

😀 This is where ShopMagic shines, and you can feel its power. The free version of our plugin is very useful and will be sufficient for many users. But what if you want to extend ShopMagic functionalities? Let me introduce some of the most powerful add-ons below:

Delayed Actions

With the Delayed Actions add-on, you will be able to delay every automation for a fixed number of minutes, hours, days, or weeks.

ShopMagic delayed actions

Works amazingly well with reviews or coupons. Give your customers the time needed to familiarize themselves with the product and set an automated email to be sent 10 days after the order is shipped. Another example? Personalized coupon which will be sent 2 weeks after the purchase.

Manual Actions

Do you want to send a specified WooCommerce email notification or newsletter? No problem because it’s possible with the Manual Actions add-on.

ShopMagic Manual Actions

Set up a new automation with the Order Manual Trigger as an event, add filter and action, and fire your manual action. You decide when and how to use it. We are giving you the right tool to not only send automated emails but to trigger them manually when needed!

Advanced Filters

Do you have a specified group of customers, which you want to target in your communication? This is where the Advanced Filters add-on steps in.

➡️ Usage example? Here you are. You can send manual emails to the customers who bought at least 2 products in July and paid with PayPal. You can also choose a group of customers who spend at least $500 on a specified product category and send them personalized and advanced WooCommerce email notifications. The decision, as always, is entirely on your side.

Are there any other add-ons?

Indeed 😜. A lot of them. Review Requests, which lets you send a direct link to purchased products or Customer Coupons to create personalized coupon codes for customers and send them automatically.
