Last updated: April 13, 2024
Setup
π² Note: Smartrr does not currently act as a service to gather SMS subscribers. For this integration, we are assuming that your customers are already subscribed via Postscript. For instructions on how to gather Postscript subscribers, click here. You may also need to be on a Postscript plan that allows integrations. Please contact your Postscript representative directly should you have questions on upgrading your plan.
To integrate Postscript and Smartrr, first create a security key pair from your Postscript dashboard under Settings > API.
Once created, show and copy your Private Key to your clipboard. Paste this key in your Smartrr admin under Integrations.
Click Confirm. Once saved, your integration setup is complete!
Postscript Triggers
The Smartrr x Postscript integration works by sending triggers on a subscriber-level that can be used to create automations inside the Postscript admin based on the below events.
In green we've outlined some example copy for SMS automations that your shop could create using these triggers.
Jump to the section below to learn how to set up automations in Postscript using Smartrr triggers.
Trigger | Description | Potential SMS Example |
---|---|---|
π Subscription Created | Sent whenever a new subscription is created | Hi {first_name}, thanks for your subscription! Manage your subscription by creating an account here: {account_page_link} |
π Upcoming Order | Sent 3 days before upcoming order, customer provided option to skip | Heads up: your upcoming subscription will ship in 3 days. Not quite ready? Just reply SKIP |
β Skipped Order | Sent when a customer skips after receiving the upcoming order notification | Confirmed! Your upcoming subscription will be skipped. Your next order will be on {new_delivery_date} |
π³ Payment Method Updated | Sent whenever a customer successfully updates their payment method | Hi {first_name}, your payment method has been successfully updated! |
βοΈPayment Method Failed | Sent whenever a payment method for an upcoming order has failed | Your recent payment wasn't completed. To update your payment method, click here: {account_page_link} |
β Customer Deactivated | Sent when when a customer's last subscription has been canceled | We're reaching out to confirm your subscription has been canceled. We're sorry to see you go. |
Postscript Automations
To create an automation in Postscript navigate to Automations under Messaging.
Note: For Smartrr's integration, please use Legacy Automations.
Click Create Automation. Be sure to choose the Legacy option.
Select Custom Automation.
Select any of the triggers that begin with Smartrr: to proceed.
You're now ready to add your desired SMS copy and set a wait period. You can set a wait time as low as 1 minute.
To add dynamic tags to your SMS automation, click More and Add Tags. The default tags scoped to Postscript include shop_name
, first_name
, last_name
and shop_link
. To add Smartrr-specific dynamic tags, reference the below table for tags associated with each trigger:
Trigger | Associated Tags |
---|---|
π Subscription Created | |
π Upcoming Order | |
β Skipped Order | |
π³ Payment Method Updated | |
βοΈPayment Method Failed | |
β Customer Deactivated |
Tip: Make sure you save your automation and that it's enabled by sure the Active toggle is flipped to green.
Reminder: in the United States, automation "waking hours" are from 11AM to 9PM.
Customer Keyword Responses
Your customers can use specific keywords to trigger certain actions on their subscription.
Skip
Response | Action |
---|---|
SKIP | Skips customer's next scheduled subscription order. |
To set up a prompt for the customer to SKIP, set up a legacy automation with the automation trigger: Smartrr: Upcoming Order.
To set up a response to SKIP, set up a second legacy automation in response to the trigger: Smartrr: Order Skipped.
