ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me define useful post-purchase follow-up messages.
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: [provide customer events, segment rules, approved messages, communication eligibility and stop conditions]. Define entry, timing, branching and exit rules; test duplicate events and customer-state changes before activation.
Use the real order stage and product context to distinguish onboarding, delivery follow-up and later retention messages.
Return an email automation map and test scenarios 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.Scenario & problem

FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Why are exit conditions important?
Customers should leave a sequence when its purpose no longer applies, such as after completing the intended action.
Does a triggered email always need to send immediately?
No. Timing should reflect the customer's context and the purpose of the message.
Should a product-use message arrive before delivery?
Timing should reflect the purpose. Instructions may help before arrival, but a usage check-in should not assume the item has been received.
