Welcome upgrade with customer branch

Fixes the biggest hole in the audit: the current welcome flow filters out anyone who has ordered, so about 3,400 checkout opt-ins never got a welcome. New subscribers who have never ordered get the 15% code over 7 days plus an SMS on day 1. Existing customers get the brand story and a cross sell, no coupon.

Flow spec

Trigger (Klaviyo metric)

Klaviyo metric: Subscribed to List (Newsletter). Also add the popup form as a second trigger path: Submitted Form (Email and SMS Popup).

Trigger filters

None at the trigger. The old filter "Placed Order zero times over all time" is removed; the split below handles it.

Flow filters

Has not been in this flow in the last 30 days.

Exit conditions

Placed Order at any point removes the profile from the prospect branch (Klaviyo profile filter re-checked before each send: Placed Order zero times since starting this flow). Customer branch has no coupon so no exit needed.

Timing

Prospect branch: Day 0, Day 1 SMS, Day 2, Day 4, Day 7. Customer branch: Day 0, Day 3.

Smart sending

Off for email 1 only (it carries the code). On for everything else.

Build notes

Replace the literal WELCOME15 with a Klaviyo unique coupon block so the 15% cannot be shared. Stop showing the 15% corner badge on PDPs to paid traffic so the code is not double discounted (audit).
