• Smart Delay Logic: Schedule emails to be sent at precise intervals, such as a reminder 24 hours before an appointment or a follow-up request for a review three days after the service is finished.
• Conditional Logic: Send different emails based on the type of service booked or the category of the resource, allowing you to tailor your messaging to specific customer segments.
• Seamless Integration: Designed to work natively with the core ShopMagic plugin, providing a unified dashboard to manage all your WooCommerce automated workflows.
