Transactional Program Emails

Ordergroove sends out emails to your customers through an integration with SendGrid when specific events and actions are triggered. These emails can be managed within your Ordergroove Admin, and include options for various dynamic personalization fields.

 


Transactional Emails Overview

When certain events are triggered, for example if a credit card has expired, Ordergroove will automatically send out an email reminder to your customer. The default sender domain for these emails are the following name and address:

  • Sent From: Your Store Name
  • Email: YourStoreName@reorder.com via sendgrid.net
  • Your Store Name will automatically populate with the actual store name.

Below you will find a list of the transactional emails hosted by Ordergroove, the event that triggers them, as well as a description of each.

If you'd like to change which email templates are enabled by default, please submit a ticket to our support team. All email templates mentioned in this article are enabled by default, with the exception of the Single Subscription Started email and the Order Placed email.

AI Churn Powered by Ordergroove's patent Anticipate AI, you have the ability to set a default cadence within Ordergroove to contact customers before their upcoming order.  The intent of the email is to prevent subscription cancellation by contacting customers before their next upcoming order and checking if they are feeling overstocked.  The email template includes a hyperlink option, which you can leverage to redirect a customer to their Subscription Manager to manage their upcoming subscription.  The Anticipate AI sensitivity can be managed under Experiences > Settings > Anticipate AI
