Step 1
Collect the campaign process as it runs today, the approved content and audience rules, the timing between sends, and the tools each step already connects to.

Connect marketing tasks into a coordinated workflow
Campaign work moves between content, audience and sending steps by hand, losing context at every handoff. In this case, the immediate task is to connect marketing tasks into a coordinated workflow. The workflow should produce the step dependencies with triggers, completion checks and failure handling, verified against the campaign records.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me connect marketing tasks into a coordinated workflow.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [the current campaign process, approved content and audience rules, send timing, and the tools each step already connects to]. Map the dependencies between steps so every handoff carries a trigger, a completion check that can be tested and a defined failure path, marking as manual any step whose output the merchant still has to approve before it reaches a customer.
Return a marketing workflow with handoff and failure rules for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.How to solve
A recommended resolution workflow
Split the work into input, judgment, and deliverable phases. Verify each step's output before moving to the next.
02
Step 2
Map the dependencies between steps so every handoff carries a trigger, a completion check that can be tested and a defined failure path, marking as manual any step whose output the merchant still has to approve before it reaches a customer.
03
Step 3
Deliver the workflow as an ordered step list with its handoff and failure rules, then run one campaign through it end to end and confirm against the supplied records that each trigger fires and each completion check passes.
FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Which tasks should be connected first?
The recurring ones with a clear trigger and a testable output, such as audience refresh, content assembly and reporting. Starting with a step whose output nobody can verify gives you automation that fails silently.
What happens when one step fails?
Define the fallback in advance, whether it retries, blocks the later steps or routes the failure to a named owner. A workflow without a failure path leaves a campaign half sent with no record of where it stopped.
Can the workflow send without approval?
Not for anything customer-facing. Keep a review point wherever the workflow publishes or sends on the merchant's behalf, and log who approved each send so the record shows a person was accountable.
