Builtin campaigns
- Abandoned Cart

After a customer pays his order, the total amount of all his orders will be checked and if it exceeded your desired number, he will be assigned a specific role.

Every day it is checked which customers' birthdays are on.
Then an email with a coupon code will be sent to them!
- Followup Emails
After the nopCommerce event triggers, the workflow will run and an email with related content will be sent to the customer.
In this sample, we send an email to the customer with a link to the products he had bought after paying for his order and ask him to add a review for them.
- Personalized Coupons
This workflow generates custom coupons for certain situations for each customer.

This workflow will run once a day and extract customers that had been inactive for example 14 days and send them an email with a discount coupon.
