Before you get started
Some details to note about the Product Recommendation block:
The Product Recommendation block is a content block that will feature personalized recommended products based on their previous purchases.
Your store must have 40 customers with at least one order each and a minimum of 3 products that are in stock for product recommendations to populate. Only products that are in stock will be displayed in the product recommendation block. When there are not enough orders for the algorithm, customers will be shown your most purchased products.
The Product Recommendation block has been added to the default designs of the following Automations: Thank first-time customers, Reward your best customers, and Win-back lapsed customers
How the product recommendation block selects products for recommendation
Product recommendations are based on a clever algorithm that splits product titles into tags. It uses the customer’s purchase history and then recommends products with similar tags and/or attributes that the customer is most likely to purchase next.

How It Works - Your Customers' Experience
When your customer receives an email, the products will be relevant to their shopping history.
For example, a customer is set to receive an Automated Email Flow after their first purchase and they receive this email with your "Top Sellers" since their purchase history is limited:
