Flexible email automation and workflows triggered by customer and site events.

== Description ==

ShopMagic – email automation is a WooCommerce extension that allows store owners to create automated emails and actions triggered by store and customer events.

The ShopMagic - email automation plugin provides a system for building email automations using events, optional filters, and actions. It can be used to send follow-up emails, transactional notifications, reminders, and internal messages related to WooCommerce orders, customers, and site activity.

ShopMagic - email automation runs entirely inside WordPress and WooCommerce. All data remains in the site database and is not sent to external services unless explicitly configured by the site administrator (for example, through integrations).

The plugin is designed to be extensible and can be enhanced with add-ons or custom code to support additional events, filters, and actions.

== How It Works ==

Automations in ShopMagic – email automation are built using three components:

= 1. Event =

Defines when the automation is triggered.
Examples include:

- Order status change
- New order created
- Customer account creation

= 2. Filter (optional) =

Defines conditions that must be met for the automation to run.
Filters can be used to limit automations to:

- Specific products or categories
- Selected order statuses
- Specific customer data

If no filter is added, the automation runs globally for the selected event.

= 3. Action =

Defines what happens when the event occurs and conditions are met.
Actions can include:

- Sending an email
- Adding a customer to a list
- Triggering an integration

Emails in ShopMagic – email automation can be customized using placeholders that insert dynamic WooCommerce and customer data.


== Getting Started ==

1. Install and activate the ShopMagic plugin.
2. Create a new automation in WooCommerce → Automations.
3. Choose an event and add an email action.
4. Save the automation — emails will be sent automatically.

A step-by-step guide is available in the documentation and video tutorial.
