Frequently asked questions
Does being in a segment mean someone is subscribed?
No. Confirm subscription status separately for each channel.
What starts a post-purchase flow?
A matching order event can start a flow. Confirm the exact event from the store and test a real example.
Can an existing flow include an SMS action?
SMS actions are documented. Check regional access, account setup, and the recipient's channel status.
Can I use reported attributed revenue as proof of incremental sales?
Attribution reports assign credit using a model. Use an appropriate comparison group to assess incremental impact.
Where can I start if my store mostly sends an editorial newsletter?
Compare Mailchimp for campaigns and audience segments before adding event-based programs.

What should I check next?
How can a subscription store avoid sending a reorder message after a customer already reordered?
Use a fresh order event to exclude the customer and test it before the scheduled send.
How do I give high-value repeat buyers a different campaign?
Define a purchase threshold from validated store data and inspect a few profiles on both sides.
Which triggers make a lifecycle flow different from a newsletter?
Flows can use configured events or conditions, such as a purchase. A campaign is sent to a selected group on a planned schedule.

What should a retailer count before upgrading ahead of a seasonal peak?
Estimate active profiles, email volume, and any SMS use. Check the current pricing treatment for each item.
Which teams benefit from customer segments that update with orders?
Shops that can distinguish repeat purchases and have enough event data to make the groups meaningful.

Check whether the event is arriving and whether the fields still satisfy the trigger and filters.
