Wix Automations: Adding and Sending a Coupon
3 min read
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.
