Excited? If you’re a Mailchimp user, you’re in for a treat — you can now do things with Atom8 you couldn’t do before.
Subscribe your customers to Mailchimp list
Use this action to subscribe a contact to your Mailchimp list in an Atom8 workflow. You can now subscribe contacts to your Mailchimp lists based on their behaviors or Atom8’s segmentation features such as customer grouping, adding customer attributes.
Some great use cases include:
1. When customer lifetime value exceeds $5000, auto-segment them into “Gold” group on BigCommerce store & tag customer as “Gold” on Mailchimp at the same time.
2. When a customer creates an account on the store, auto-tag “New customers” on Mailchimp. For the next 14 days, apply the welcome email series, then untag the customer from the “New customers” group.
Send automated emails
This action is perfect for engaging with your customers following their actions on the BigCommerce store such as customer creation, order placements, etc. You can set up workflows to automatically send emails with a premade template, from a custom email subject, sender email & name:
1. When an order is placed, auto-trigger a “thank-you” email to the customer and a coupon code for future orders, encouraging up-sales & cross-sales.
2. When a customer has refunded an order, auto-tag “Refund customer” on Mailchimp. Then, send an automated “apology” email to the customer and offer alternatives.
