Ways you can use the Omnisend Shopify Flow connector to drive more revenue

The connector will allow retailers to use Shopify store data to trigger email, SMS messages, and push notifications right from the Omnisend marketing platform. Some examples of ways you can use the connecter include:

• Trigger order and shipping confirmation emails and SMS messages, Facebook messages, or push notifications to customers
• Send an automated post-purchase message series that nurtures recent customers and increases customer retention
• Automate win-back emails for customers who have not returned to purchase
• Create segments that allow for smarter, more personalized messaging

Trigger messages in Omnisend based on other partner apps, such as Loyalty Lion and Yotpo.

How it works

Inside of the Shopify Flow app all you will need to do is create a workflow with three basic elements: A trigger, condition, and action.

Trigger: An event inside of Shopify or integrated app (e.g. order created)

Condition: This is a criteria rule that determines the action (e.g. Order total is greater than $100)

Action: Tells the workflow what action to take (e.g. send an email via Omnisend)

Setup is simple

1. Install the Omnisend application and the Shopify Flow app in your Shopify admin.
2. From the Omnisend platform, create both the custom event that you want to trigger and the workflow that will send the messages.
3. After selecting a trigger to the action tracked by either Shopify or one of the integrated applications, you can trigger the automated workflow and/or update contacts in Omnisend.

In this example, we can create an automated sales alert messaging stream with Omnisend workflows. By creating a custom event in Omnisend that alerts the customer when one of their wishlist items goes on sale, that event will then trigger the automated workflow set up inside of the Omnisend platform.

It’s that easy! You can find more information on integrating Omnisend and Shopify Flow here.
