Introduction

The goal is to automate key communication workflows essential to a premium e-commerce store. Manually managing customer journeys, triggers, and segmentation becomes unscalable as catalog size and user activity increase. This automation solves the challenge by generating structured email/SMS flows, mapping them to Shopify events, and maintaining consistency across campaigns.
