Step by Step Description

Trigger

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

Determining a Large Purchase

Another critical step is adding the Condition node, which is linked to the New purchase event. Set the attribute to Total price, then select the option Greater than, and finally, set the price according to your products/services.

voucher_reward_05

If the condition is not met, it is essential to delete the task. To do this, add the Delete output data node to the negative branch.

Assigning Vouchers as Rewards

We will continue with the positive branch, where the assignment of the voucher takes place. We use the Waiting node set to 10 days: the delay before assigning the voucher.

voucher_reward_07

Add also the Wait for time range node and set the appropriate day and time validity.
In the next step, we add the Assign Campaign voucher with your custom voucher selected from the menu.

voucher_reward_09

Communicating to the Customer

In this part, we discern the available means of communicating the voucher to the customer.

voucher_reward_10

First, we check the availability of an email address with the Condition node.

voucher_reward_11

Insert another Condition node and add customer property condition. In the customer window, choose E-mail and then select the option Is set.

The negative branch continues with the SMS version if the customer’s email is not provided. If neither the email nor phone number is provided, the notification process is terminated.

voucher_reward_12

In the following steps, we will only discuss the email branch, as the SMS branch is virtually identical.

voucher_reward_13

We will add the Send Email node with the custom template.

voucher_reward_14

As the next step, we insert another Wait node. The standard is 5 days, but you should base the number of days on the expiration date of your gifted voucher. This is to give some time before communicating that the voucher is about to expire.

Expiration Notice

In the last part, the goal is to discern whether the voucher has been used, and if not, to send a notice about the voucher expiration date.

voucher_reward_15

To discern whether the voucher has been used by the customer, we use a Condition node with Applying voucher event type. Do not forget to set the number of days corresponding to the waiting period.

voucher_reward_16

If the voucher has not been used yet, we add Send email node with a custom template. The same rules as before apply.

voucher_reward_17

In this case, we also send a notification via SMS. Simply add the Condition node and in the case of a positive outcome, use Send Message.

Tips

Waiting periods

The waiting periods here are recommended but feel free to assign them to your product/service specifics. In the first case, It is not recommended to make this period too short, especially when the product is yet to be collected by the customer. There is also the risk of overloading or otherwise aggravating the customer.

Event Attributes

In determining a Large purchase, you can additionally set other attributes, such as the Count of items, to further delineate your specifications. Simply click on Add attributes and continue as before.
