Install the app

Add a scenario

Click [Send a message after purchase completion] to add a scenario.

Set how long after purchase the message is sent

  • In this example, we chose "1 hour".
  • You can choose minutes, hours, or days as the unit.

Choose the email and LINE message to send

  • A LINE message can go out at the same time as the email.
  • To create a new email, go to [Messages] and open [Email list].
  • Use a template, or design an original email of your own.

Set up a second message and beyond

  • Check [Send a second message].
  • Configure the email to send, following the same steps as the first one.
  • Varying the content between the first email and the follow-ups lifts your conversion rate.
  • For example, sending a coupon in the second email and recommended products in the third helps drive sales.
  • Coupons can be added here too — see how to add coupons.
  • You can also skip the second email automatically once the coupon has been used.

Set how long to wait before the second message

  • In this example, we chose "3 hours".
  • You can choose minutes, hours, or days as the unit.

Create your cross-sell email

  • Create the email you selected in the scenario.
  • Use a template, or design an original email of your own.
  • Once set up, the email is sent automatically to customers after their purchase.
