Store Email & SMS Flow Map: cover and inside pages
Sound familiar

A few old automations, and no clear map of what should run

Most stores set up a welcome and a cart email once, then never get back to the rest.

Flows from years ago

We have a welcome email and a cart email from years ago, and I don’t know if they’re any good.

Discounts on every cart

Every guide says to discount in the cart email, and I suspect we’re giving margin away on orders we’d have won anyway.

Three emails in one day

Customers sometimes get three emails from us in one afternoon, because the flows overlap.

Opens, but which sells?

Our open rates look healthy, but I can’t tell which flows actually bring in sales.

Unsure about SMS rules

I’d like to add SMS, but I’m not sure what consent I need or when I’m allowed to text.

Pretty templates, no words

The templates in our email tool look nice, but nobody tells us what to actually write.

30%

of email revenue came from automations, although they were only 2% of email sends, across 150,000 brands.

What you get

A map for every flow, the copy to send, and a planner to run them

Every flow chapter has a flow map, a spec table and a message-by-message plan, and the copy pack follows the same numbering.

The playbook (PDF, 44 pages)

13 chapters, trigger names for 5 email tools, current inbox sender requirements, plain-language SMS and WhatsApp consent, 4 checklists and 2 worksheets.

Copy pack (DOCX, 37 messages)

25 emails with 2 subject lines, preview text, body and button each, 9 SMS versions with opt-out lines, and 3 WhatsApp templates labelled by Meta category.

Flow planner (XLSX, 7 tabs)

Every message timed to your buying cycle, a discount break-even check and offer-test reader, a monthly tracker with flags, and a list health log.

Chapter by chapter

  1. Why automated flows carry a store's email program
  2. Before you build: consent, deliverability and honest measurement
  3. Segmentation essentials and the discount rule
  4. Welcome flow: from sign-up to first order
  5. Browse abandonment: a light touch for looking, not buying
  6. Cart and checkout abandonment: answer the hesitation
  7. Post-purchase: thanks, how to use it, reviews and the second order
  8. Replenishment and repeat purchase: arrive just before they run out
  9. Win-back: bring back lapsed customers without giving away margin
  10. VIP and loyalty: reward your best customers with access, not discounts
  11. Sunset and list hygiene: protect the inbox for everyone else
  12. The timing master calendar
  13. Measure and improve: the monthly flow review
Look inside

Real pages from the playbook

The free sample is the whole cart and checkout chapter: the two triggers, the objection table and the launch checklist.

After you work through it

What you will have built

From our work

The same segmentation logic we use with clients

These are paid-media projects, not email results. Both appear in the playbook because the same logic carries over to flows.

ONLINE SALES

A 7.28 return in the peak gifting week

A kids learning store brought back people who had already looked, and moved budget to retargeting as the season peaked: the paid version of a cart flow.

ONLINE SALES

The smaller line brought half the orders at twice the return

A home fragrance brand split results by product and found its incense burners outsold the budget they got, which is why the playbook reads cross-sells by product pair.

How to use it

STEP 1

First, about 45 minutes

Read chapters 1 to 3, then fill in your numbers on the Flow inventory tab.

STEP 2

Build in order, 1 to 3 hours per flow

Cart and checkout first, then welcome, then post-purchase, pasting and editing the copy as you go.

STEP 3

The rest of the eight, over 4 to 6 weeks

Browse, replenishment, win-back, VIP and sunset, alongside your normal work.

STEP 4

Every month, about an hour

Log each flow in the tracker and read revenue per recipient, unsubscribes and complaints.

Tool-agnostic: the rules work in Klaviyo, Omnisend, Mailchimp, Shopify Messaging with Shopify Flow, AutomateWoo and MailPoet. The planner works in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers, with no macros.

Questions

What store owners ask before they download

A 44-page PDF, an editable Word copy pack that also opens in Google Docs and Pages, and an .xlsx planner that works in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers. The flows are tool-agnostic: every rule works in Klaviyo, Omnisend, Mailchimp, Shopify Messaging with Shopify Flow, AutomateWoo and MailPoet, with a trigger-name table for each tool except Omnisend.

Online store owners, in-house marketers and freelancers who set up flows. Any store whose email tool receives sign-up, product-view, checkout and order events can build every flow, on Shopify, WooCommerce or another platform.

No. Every flow works by email alone. SMS and WhatsApp steps are marked as optional, with the consent rules to follow if you add them.

Each message is written around a specific job, such as answering shipping and returns questions, timing a reorder or asking for a review, with placeholders for your real policies and proof points. You add your brand's facts, and that's deliberate.

No. It explains common principles such as express consent, opt-out and quiet hours, and points to the rules. Laws vary and change, so check with a qualified adviser where you sell.
