Before you start

Once you've integrated Brevo with your Loyoly account, you'll be able to set up your recommended automations.

💡 If you haven't already done so, follow our guide to integrating Loyoly with Brevo.


Set up your templates

In Brevo, automations are e-mail sequences that are triggered by certain events and include one or more steps.

📝 Note: Be sure to manually deactivate e-mails in your Loyoly account to avoid your customers receiving duplicate e-mails after configuring e-mail flows in Brevo.

Here are the e-mails we recommend you configure first:

  • New mission

  • Points earned

  • Reward reminder

  • Rewards

  • Refer a friend

  • Refer a friend

  • Referral validated

  • Award deadline

If VIP tiers are activated :

  • Level reached

  • Anniversary date

If product test is activated :

  • Product test: validation

  • Product test: decline

For each automation, you'll first need to create templates for each email (don't panic, we've prepared some templates for you!).


Section 1 : Missions

This email is generated when a new mission is activated and the "Do you want to inform all your users about this new mission? An email notification will be sent" is checked.

params.mission_points: number of points required to unlock the mission

To display the reward name in another language, you can use the corresponding variable, specifying the desired language. For example, for Norwegian, use: {{params.mission_name_i18n.no }}.

You can also opt for the dynamic method:

{{ params.mission_name_i18n[person|lookup:'locale_language'] }}, which will automatically detect the user's language and display the appropriate variable.

Activate automations

Once you've created your templates, you'll need to create your automations.

Here are the three things you need to know:

1. In the classic editor, check the "Allow your contacts to enter the automation more than once" box, so that users can receive emails several times.

2. In the entry point, add "An event happens". Then add a custom event. You'll need to add the trigger manually.

Here is the list of triggers for each email:

  • New mission: new_mission

  • Points earned: points_earned

  • Rewards: reward_redeemed

  • Reward reminder: reward_reminder

  • Referral: referral_friend

  • Referral reminder: referral_reminder

  • Referral validated: referral_success

  • Post-purchase: post_purchase

  • Level reached: new_tier_reached

  • Birthday date: birthday_gift

3. Then add a step to the scenario and choose an email.

Select the corresponding template and click on the "Use my event data to customize the email" box, then "The event data which triggered the scenario".

And that's it! Now all you have to do is activate your automation. ✅
