  2. 2Click New automation.
  3. 3Pick the Purchase follow-up email template. It is labeled Email and After product purchase.
  4. 4Open the trigger and decide whether it should run for any product or selected products.
  5. 5Open the Send Email step.
  6. 6Edit the subject, preview text, and body.
  7. 7Keep the download link token in the email when the email should deliver the product.
  8. 8Optionally keep or edit the Customer tag step.
  9. 9Save, test, and publish the workflow.

Useful email tokens

  • {{product_title}} inserts the product title.
  • {{download_url}} inserts the secure download link when the purchase event has one.
  • {{product_url}} links back to the public product page.
  • {{order_id}} inserts the order ID.
  • {{first_name}} personalizes when the buyer contact has a name.

Helpful tips

  • Keep purchase emails short. The buyer mostly needs the download and confidence that the order worked.
  • Use tags like Customer or Bought guide when you want future workflows to branch by purchase history.
  • Send Email uses LinkStack email delivery with the creator profile email as the default reply-to.
  • LinkStack adds your saved sender details and an unsubscribe link to the email automatically.
  • Test with a real-looking buyer email before a launch.
