How to Use These Templates

Each template triggers independently based on loyalty program events. The points earned confirmation should fire after every purchase. The tier upgrade fires when a customer crosses a spending threshold. Points expiry goes out on a schedule, and milestones trigger at specific order counts (5th, 10th, 25th order).

The key insight: loyalty programs fail without communication. Most customers forget they have points or what tier they're in. These emails solve that by keeping the program visible and making it easy to take action.

With Sequenzy's Shopify integration, purchase data syncs automatically, making it easy to trigger these emails based on real order history and spending milestones.
