Note: We strongly recommend you to use event based triggers along with the relevant flow controllers like ‘Trigger frequency’ and ‘Cancel trigger’ in order to ensure that your customers do not receive multiple or irrelevant communications based on the latest actions performed by them.
For example, when we create automations with Shopify Store events like ‘Product viewed’ we receive multiple triggers (for each such event performed). However, we do not want to send multiple messages for every product viewed. Hence, we can set a trigger frequency of say 1 day along with ‘Order placed’ or ‘Abandoned cart created’ as a cancel trigger to ensure customers do not get spammed with multiple messages.
