3 min read
This article refers to the new automation builder that is currently being released. If you're not seeing this version, then see our article about the previous version of the automation builder.
With Wix Automations, you can effortlessly send discount coupons to your contacts. This powerful tool aids in boosting your sales, promoting events, and enhancing customer engagement in a variety of ways.
For example, imagine a potential customer visits your online store, adds items to their cart, but leaves without completing their purchase. With Wix Automations, you can set up a system that automatically sends an email offering a 20% discount coupon to such visitors. This not only motivates them to complete their purchase but also builds a positive relationship with your brand.

To begin, start by creating a new automation from scratch. Select a trigger and decide if you'd like to limit frequency, include a delay, or add special conditions for your automation. Learn more about successfully creating an automation.
