Rules

• Workflow name – the “friendly name” for your workflow, customers will not see this
• Sending filters
  • Send all – send to every customer, including anonymous users
  • Send if newsletter subscriber is checked or send only to registered accounts – send messages to customers who specifically opt-in
  • Send only to – this filter only sends to email addresses that are defined in the rule

• Send after – time delay before a message is sent

Logs

The logs area of this workflow will display log events between specific date ranges.

• Pending – shows messages that validated based on rule criteria and are scheduled to be sent
• Sent – shows information about messages that have been sent as a result of meeting rule criteria
• Conversions – displays relevant conversions as a result of a workflow message triggering

Conditional Logic

• And/Or – structures the conditional logic for the rule
• API Mappings – available meta for a shopping cart’s API
• Conditions – is, is not, greater than, less than, contains, does not contain, begins with, ends with
• Conditional Value – text, date or integer
  • Use one asterisk * to trigger any qualifying value
• Construct as many conditional logic rows as necessary

Advanced Custom Meta

We have several advanced meta logic variables that can be used in custom workflows for situations where standard platform meta needs an additional layer of control.

• Order Status Was – the previously saved order status used in conjunction with the current one
• Customer Has Spent – historical purchase amounts
• Customer Order Count – historical number of orders
