How to Send an Email Confirmation to a Buyer in Funnel Breezy
This guide explains how to set up an automated email confirmation for buyers in Funnel Breezy. Here's a breakdown of the steps:
1. Decide on Receipt Source:
Choose between using Stripe's automated receipts or creating one within Funnel Breezy.
Disabling Funnel Breezy receipts if you prefer Stripe's (recommended for simplicity).
2. Create a Purchase Confirmation Email Automation:
Go to "Automations" and click "Create Workflow."
Name the workflow (e.g., "Purchased [Product Name]").
In "Settings," set the sender name and email address (your business information).
3. Set the Trigger:
Choose "Add new workflow trigger."
Select "Order form submission" as the trigger.
Add filters to specify the exact sales page and checkout form where the purchase happens.
4. Add a Tag (Optional):
Create a tag to identify purchasers (e.g., "Purchased_[Product Name]").
This helps categorize contacts based on their purchases.
5. Add the Email Action:
Under "Action," select "Send email."
Subject line: Create a clear and enticing subject (e.g., "Yay! Welcome to the [Program Name]").
Email body: Create a template with a welcome message, information about their purchase, and next steps.
6. Additional Considerations (Optional):
Set a delay before sending the email (optional).
Send an internal notification to yourself upon purchase (optional).
Grant access to the purchased product/membership within the automation (optional).
7. Complete the Automation:
Save the automation.
Make sure you have a separate email template created specifically for purchase confirmations.
Ensure either Stripe receipts or your Funnel Breezy receipt is enabled.
8. Activate the Automation:
Turn on the workflow to activate the automated email confirmation process.
