Note: To perform the following actions, ensure that Joy Loyalty and Omnisend are integrated, and the loyalty program has been successfully synced with Omnisend.
Segment customers based on their loyalty tier or point balance
The essence of segmenting customers using loyalty criteria: Segmenting customers with loyalty criteria means classifying customers based on loyalty conditions. For example, you can categorize customers by tier, such as segmenting Gold tier customers to send emails exclusively to this group.
To segment customers using loyalty criteria, select "Create Filter" and apply Joy Loyalty criteria. For instance, the example below demonstrates segmenting all Gold tier customers under the VIP tier.
Create automated workflows
The essence of creating automated workflows: Create workflows that include loyalty program information in your email content. For example, you can send emails notifying customers about their points balance, sharing referral links, or tier details directly within the email.
Building workflows with loyalty program details is simple—just use variables and integrate them into your email content appropriately. For instance, the example below demonstrates creating a workflow: When a customer places a new order -> An "Order Confirmation" email is automatically sent to confirm the order and inform the customer of their updated points balance.
JOY_POINT: The loyalty points earned by customers
JOY_RL: The referral link customers can share
JOY_TIER: The customer's loyalty rank or tier level
JOY_TYPE: The member status in the loyalty program
