Before you get started:

Here are some key details to note about conditional splits:

  • Conditional splits use ‘conditions’ (i.e. customer data points - purchase history, contact details, etc.) to split workflows into different branches. This allows brands to curate messaging and make sure it’s personalized to the recipient.

  • Creating conditional splits that send emails based on where they are in the buying journey will help optimize your Automations for engagement and help improve your deliverability.

⚠️Important: Conditional splits are available on custom automations and the Recover abandoned carts automation only.
