Post purchase: thank you, how to serve, cross sell, review request

Repeat buyers are 20% of customers and 46% of revenue, and nobody emails them. This flow thanks every buyer, tells them how to store and serve, cross sells apples to pouch buyers and pouches to apple buyers, and asks for a review 7 days after the shipment is delivered. No discounts anywhere in it.

Flow spec

Trigger (Klaviyo metric)

Klaviyo metric: Placed Order (Shopify). Review branch: Delivered Shipment (Shopify fulfillment event), built as a second flow in Klaviyo since a flow has one trigger.

Trigger filters

None. First time and repeat buyers both enter. Email 1 has a conditional block that changes one line for repeat buyers.

Flow filters

Not on the Corporate list. Order value under $300 (larger orders get a personal note from Andy).

Exit conditions

Placed Order again during the flow skips the cross sell email and restarts the flow with the new order.

Timing

Email 1 at 1 hour. Email 2 at 2 days (or on Delivered Shipment if sooner). Email 3 at 10 days. Review request 7 days after Delivered Shipment.

Smart sending

Off for email 1 and the review request. On for emails 2 and 3.

Build notes

Cross sell split: "Placed Order where item product type equals Caramel Apple" sends the pouch version; everyone else gets the apple version. Serving lines are safe on the live PDP facts. Confirm the fridge and slicing advice with Andy before launch; it is written as plain advice, not a claim.
