How to install and activate ShopMagic?
Firstly, you need to install and activate ShopMagic. You can download it from the WordPress website or directly from the Plugins section in your dashboard. After installation, simply click on Activate. As you can see, the whole process is similar to any other plugin.
Creating a new WooCommerce automation
It’s time to create a new automation. Find ShopMagic in your dashboard and click on Add New. You will see a new window where you will be able to set a title and select an Event type. Writing an easy to distinguish title is very good practice. As you can see in my example, I chose to title mine as “WooCommerce purchase anniversary email”.
For an event, select Order Completed. Do not forget to select the option to Recheck the order status. Very useful, especially in long-term automations like the one from this guide.
Assigning filter for WooCommerce purchase anniversary email
Optional step, yet very important. Here you can decide which customer will receive the follow-up email . I’ll leave it intact but remember that ShopMagic has tons of configuration options available in the Filter. If you are interested in this topic, check Advanced Filters add-on.

Following the popular adage, which says that a picture is worth thousands of words, here’s a screenshot with my configuration:
Firstly, Action and it’s type. Choose from Send email, Raw HTML email, plain text, add customer to MailChimp list and Slack post.
Next one is Description – How you describe your automation? It’s entirely up to you.
Now it’s time to Delay an email – Core feature in our example. We are creating a WooCommerce purchase anniversary email, which will be delayed for 365 days.
HINT: You can easily set different delay time with ShopMagic. Simply, change the number of days (or weeks) in Delay field.
To – Prefilled with placeholder { customer.email }. Here you can set an email’s recipient.
