Integration Logic

  • Shopify Performance Link

    This integration runs on a schedule (e.g., daily) to fetch sales data for all products from Shopify. It then filters these products to identify which ones have crossed a predefined sales velocity threshold (e.g., 'more than 50 units sold in the last 7 days'). For each high-performing product, it performs two parallel actions: 1) It triggers a new email campaign in Klaviyo, using a dynamic template populated with the product's details and targeting a specific customer segment. 2) It creates and schedules a series of promotional posts in Buffer for selected social media profiles, highlighting the product's popularity.
