Workflows

Automate every retention touchpoint

Send loyalty rewards, review requests, referral nudges and renewal reminders at exactly the right moment — without writing a line of code.

No-code visual builder

Drag a trigger, an action and a delay onto the canvas. No developer.

Conditional branching

Send repeat buyers down a different path from first-timers.

Delays and date rules

Wait for delivery, or fire on a birthday or renewal date.

All four modules

Loyalty, reviews, referrals and memberships in one automation layer.

The basics

What is a retention workflow?

Most stores lose customers to silence rather than to a bad experience. An order ships, days pass, and nobody follows up. A workflow is the rule that decides what happens next, and then carries it out.

Connect your store once, then say what should happen after a purchase, a review, a referral sign-up or a renewal. Yuko fires the right message, reward or action every time, without anyone remembering to.

A builder, not a developer ticket

Drag-and-drop canvas with conditional logic, delays and filters in one place.

Personalised paths, not one blast

Branch on order count, tier, rating or membership state so each customer gets the right message.

One layer across every module

The same workflow can award points, request a review, send a referral link and renew a membership.

How it works

From zero to automated in three steps

No integrations to wire up and no developer. Connect your store and build the first workflow in minutes.

Workflow actions

One automation layer. Every retention module.

Workflows reach across all four modules. Pick one to see what it can automate.

Set the rules once and Yuko handles every reward, tier upgrade, expiry warning and birthday bonus — triggered by real purchase and engagement events.

  • Award points automatically on purchase, review or referral
  • Trigger VIP tier upgrade emails with personalised perks
  • Send points expiry warnings 7, 14 or 30 days in advance
  • Double points during sale events triggered by date rules

Triggers

Every customer moment, captured automatically

Workflows start from the events that matter in your store. Pick a trigger and Yuko takes it from there.

Custom date triggers

Never miss a meaningful customer date

Schedule a workflow for a customer’s birthday, their store anniversary, or any custom date field. Birthday bonus points, anniversary codes and seasonal triggers all fire on their own.

Ready-made templates

Start from a proven workflow, then change what you like

Every template ships with its triggers, delays and actions already wired up.

Loyalty

Post-purchase loyalty reward

Awards points as soon as a purchase is confirmed, with a branch that doubles points for VIP-tier customers and sends a tier progress email.

Order placed Award points Send email Check VIP tier
Reviews

Delivery-triggered review request

Waits until estimated delivery before asking, which lifts response rates. Non-responders get one follow-up after 5 days; reviewers earn 25 points.

Order fulfilled Wait 4 days Review ask Award pts
Referral

Happy customer referral prompt

Finds customers who left a 4 or 5-star review and sends a referral invite within 24 hours, while satisfaction is highest. Fires once per customer.

5-star review Wait 1 day Send referral link
Memberships

Membership renewal reminders

Three emails at 30 days, 7 days and the day before expiry. The last one carries an exclusive renewal incentive to reduce churn.

Expiry -30d Email 1 Email 2 -7d Email 3 -1d

VIP tier upgrade celebration

Detects a tier threshold crossing and sends a congratulations email with the new benefits, a surprise bonus and a next-milestone preview.

Win-back lapsed customers

Targets customers with no order in 90 days using a points expiry warning, a personalised discount and a referral incentive.
