Email automations
Draw what happens after someone buys, signs up, or gets a tag. Send them sequences, tag them, wait, and split them down different paths.
Open Your store → Email → Automations, then click New automation. Add what starts it, add steps under it with the + buttons, then flip the switch at the top to Live. Needs Pro or above.
Start from a ready-made one
Click New automation and pick one. Eden makes the automation and the sequences and tags it uses, all as drafts, so nothing sends until you turn it on.
| Automation | What it does |
|---|---|
| Buyer onboarding | Tags new buyers Customer, sends a welcome, then asks for a testimonial a week later |
| Lead to buyer | Tags people who get a free product Lead, pitches your paid one, tags buyers Customer |
| Win back members | Tags people whose membership ended Former member and invites them back |
| Clean your list | Asks people who stopped opening if they still want your emails, and unsubscribes the rest |
Before you turn one on, open each of its sequences under Sequences. Read the emails, pick the product to sell where one asks for it, and turn each sequence on. Buyer onboarding and Lead to buyer start on the paid or free products you have today, so add new products to the start card later.
Clean your list
- Make the Clean your list automation, turn on its Still want my emails? sequence, then turn the automation on.
- In Audience → Subscribers, pick No opens in 6 months, click the box at the top, then Select all.
- Add the Last chance tag.
Each person gets two short emails, three days apart, asking them to click if they want to stay. Anyone who clicks gets the Stayed after cleaning tag. Anyone who doesn't click within three days of the second email is unsubscribed.

Split people down different paths
Under Condition, pick Yes / No for two paths, or Split path for up to 10 paths plus Everyone else. With a split, people take the first path that fits, left to right.
A condition checks people the moment they reach it, so put a Wait before an Email opens check to give them time to open.
Use a sequence in an automation
When you make a sequence, set Starts when to An automation puts them in. Its Settings show which automations use it under Used in.
Add people by hand
In Audience → Subscribers, tick the people you want, click Add to automation, and pick one that's live. You can add up to 500 at a time. Anyone already in it, or unsubscribed, is skipped.
Who goes through it
- Each person goes through an automation once.
- Pausing stops new people and holds everyone where they are.
- Deleting a step moves the people waiting on it to the step below.
Email marketing
Send sales emails to your buyers and signups from your store. Set up sequences that go out on their own, or send a broadcast to a list you filter.
Give each person their own deadline
Run an evergreen offer from an email sequence. Each person gets their own countdown and price, and the price really goes back up when their time runs out.
