Written by Roohul Shah

What is a Post Purchase – Cross/Upsell Flow?

A Post Purchase – Cross/Upsell Flow automatically sends messages to customers after they buy something, suggesting products that pair well with their purchase or better versions of what they bought.

It's like saying "Since you bought this, you might also love these items!"


How Does It Help?

This flow helps you:

  • Increase the total value of each customer's purchases

  • Recommend products that complement what they just bought

  • Introduce customers to more of your product range

  • Boost revenue from existing customers

  • Enhance the overall shopping experience


How to Create a Post Purchase – Cross/Upsell Flow

There are two ways to get started:

1. From the Flow Home Screen

  • Scroll down to find the Post Purchase – Cross/Upsell Flow Template

  • Click and name your flow (e.g, Post Purchase – Cross/Upsell - test)

  • Click Continue

2. From the Create Menu

  • Click + Create Flow

  • Select Use a flow template

  • Click Continue

  • Choose Post Purchase – Cross/Upsell

  • Click Continue

  • Name your flow (e.g, Post Purchase – Cross/Upsell - test)

  • Click Continue

After following either of these methods, you'll be taken to the Flow Builder, where you can edit the flow's properties, adjust the wait rule, modify the Send Message node, and make any other changes as needed.

Once you create the flow, you'll see the Flow Builder screen.

To make changes, simply click on the Trigger, Wait Rule, or Send Message node to edit its settings. You can also add additional actions and rules by dragging them from the left-side panel into the Flow Builder or clicking the + button.​​

Note: Editing a flow creates a new version of it. Select See Version History from the three-dot icon on top to activate the correct version. Learn more about versioning here

To use it as-is:

  • Simply Turn On your flow, or

  • Schedule it to start later

Important Note:

Make sure the Compliance setting for this flow is set to "Promotional" to avoid carrier filtering and potential legal issues.
