Step by Step Description

Below is a description of each node and also its setup when an explanation is necessary.

Trigger

The workflow is triggered with the external "New purchase" event. The event triggers the workflow every time a customer completes a purchase.

Purchasing the Right Product

The next step is to recognize whether the customer bought the product with the expected repeated purchase.

regular_purchase_04

Add a Condition node with event type condition: New purchase. Specify the 30-day package product in the menus on the right.

regular_purchase_06

If the product meets the requirements, we continue with the workflow. If not, the workflow ends.

Repeated Purchase

The next part evaluates if the customer bought the same product again in 21 days: we set a shorter delay to prevent the eventuality that the customer has already bought the product somewhere else.

regular_purchase_08

We add a "Waiting" node set to 21 days. You can change the number of days according to your needs.

We also add a "Waiting for time range" node so that the messages are not sent at an inappropriate time – at night, for example.

regular_purchase_10

Now we need to check whether the customer has bought again, therefore we put another Condition node. Only this time, we set additional attributes, specifically Period type, to Relatively with the last 20 days.

regular_purchase_11

If the customer has already bought again, the workflow ends.

Incentivising the Customer

In order to communicate the incentive, we need to find proper channels: this workflow accounts for email and phone. Since the phone branch operates virtually the same way, we will focus on email only.

regular_purchase_12

We insert "Condition" and "add customer property condition". In the menu, select Email and the option Is set.

regular_purchase_14

We add the "Send email" node with a custom template that will notify the customers to buy again.

regular_purchase_15

What follows is a 3-day waiting period to see if it had any effect on the customer. You can adjust it to your business.

regular_purchase_16

Again, we add a Condition node with which we check whether the customer bought the product.

regular_purchase_18

If the customer buys, the workflow ends.

Assigning and Communicating Voucher

In the last part, we assign account-tied vouchers as a last form of incentive since the customer has not bought yet.

regular_purchase_19

As the next node, we choose the "Assign Campaign voucher". Select the appropriate voucher in the menu inside.

regular_purchase_20

The voucher is assigned; now, that fact needs to be communicated to the customer. As we know the customer already has an email address in our database, so we will simply add the "Send email" node with the designated email.

regular_purchase_20

We make sure the customer gets the message also on the phone using "Send SMS" node.

regular_purchase_21
