Before you get started
Some key details to note about the Thank First Time Customers Automation:
The Thank First-Time Customers Automation is prebuilt in your Marsello app admin and contains the following steps:
The automation is triggered by a new customer completing their first purchase
An email is sent thanking the new customer for their first purchase and offering a 10% off coupon for their next purchase
The automation will then finish and the customer will not receive any more emails. Please note that the automation will also stop if a customer responds to an email and completes their purchase.
The Thank First-Time Customers Automation is fully customizable to suit your brand's needs. You can add/remove emails in the Automation and even update the discount settings.
