Automation
Workflows built for eCommerce businesses.
See how ecommerce businesses use automation to eliminate manual work and move faster.
Lead Generation
Instant Lead Capture
Form submissions automatically captured and enrolled — personalised follow-up fires before the lead has left your site.
- 1 Form → Enquiry form submitted (trigger)
- 2 HubSpot → Contact created & scored in CRM
- 3 Gmail → Personalised welcome email sent instantly
You might need this if…
- Copying new enquiries into your CRM by hand
- Leads sitting uncontacted for hours — or longer
- Losing clients to competitors who respond faster
Business Impact
Convert 3× more leads with instant, personalised follow-up that runs 24/7 — no manual effort required.
eCommerce
Post-Purchase Review Request
Fulfilled orders trigger a review request automatically — then the customer lands in your loyalty programme without any manual work.
- 1 Shopify → Order marked fulfilled (trigger)
- 2 Gmail → Personalised review request sent
- 3 Mailchimp → Customer added to loyalty list
- 3× more reviews collected without chasing
- Loyalty list grows with every fulfilled order
- Zero manual follow-up emails ever needed
Business Impact
More 5-star reviews and a growing loyalty list — both on autopilot.
Lead Generation
Lead Distribution to Multiple Teams
One form submission fans out to three systems simultaneously — CRM, team chat, and reporting all updated in the same instant.
- 1 Form → Lead form submitted (trigger)
- 2 HubSpot → Contact created in CRM
- 3 Slack → Sales team alerted
- 4 Google Sheets → Lead logged in tracking sheet
Steps 2 – 4 fire simultaneously the moment the form is submitted.
Business Impact
Sales, marketing, and ops aligned the moment a lead arrives — no copy-pasting between systems.
eCommerce
New Order Notification
A new Shopify order instantly notifies your customer, alerts your team, and updates your reporting — zero manual effort.
- 1 Shopify → New order placed (trigger)
- 2 Gmail → Customer confirmation sent
- 3 Slack → Sales team alerted instantly
- 4 Google Sheets → Sale automatically logged
Steps 2 – 4 fire simultaneously the moment an order is placed.
Business Impact

Lead Generation
Lead Qualification Pipeline
A single form triggers two parallel actions simultaneously — converging to route only qualified leads to your sales team.
- 1 Form → Form submitted (trigger)
- 2 HubSpot → CRM contact created & scored
- 3 Gmail → Personalised acknowledgement sent
- 4 Slack → Qualified leads routed to sales
Steps 2 & 3 run in parallel. Step 4 triggers once both complete.
Business Impact
Respond to new leads in under 60 seconds — outpacing competitors who rely on manual follow-up.
eCommerce
Order Fulfilment Pipeline
Order confirmation triggers parallel finance and inventory updates — both must complete before the fulfilment team is notified.
- 1 Shopify → Order confirmed (trigger)
- 2 Xero → Invoice automatically created
- 3 Google Sheets → Inventory count updated
- 4 Slack → Fulfilment team notified to ship
Steps 2 & 3 run in parallel. Step 4 triggers once both complete.
Business Impact
Every order fulfilled without a single manual step — finance and inventory always in sync.
eCommerce
Win-Back Inactive Customers
Klaviyo detects a customer who hasn't purchased in 90 days → win-back email campaign fires → exclusive SMS discount offer sent → Shopify discount code auto-generated if clicked.
- 1 Klaviyo → 90-day purchase inactivity detected (trigger)
- 2 Email → "We miss you" email with personalised product picks
- 3 SMS → Exclusive 15% off SMS with short expiry timer
- 4 Shopify → Unique discount code generated & applied at checkout
You might need this if…
- Past customers forgetting you exist after their first order
- Losing revenue to competitors while dormant customers wait
- Manual email blasts that feel generic and get ignored
Business Impact
Recovering even 10% of dormant customers can add thousands to monthly revenue with zero ad spend.
eCommerce
Partnership Enquiry Pipeline
Partnership/influencer enquiry form submitted → three things fire at once: auto-reply email with media kit, prospect logged in Sheets, and partnerships team alerted on Slack.
- 1 Form → Partnership or collab enquiry submitted (trigger)
- 2 Email → Media kit & rate card auto-emailed to prospect
- 3 Google Sheets → Prospect logged with audience size & niche
- 4 Slack → Partnerships team alerted with enquiry details
Steps 2 – 4 fire simultaneously the moment the enquiry is submitted.
Business Impact
Every influencer and partner gets a fast, professional response — even while you're fulfilling orders.
eCommerce
Customer Service Escalation
Website chat complaint received → CRM support ticket created, auto-acknowledgment emailed to customer, support team alerted on Slack — all in parallel. Then the issue is logged to Sheets for trend tracking.
- 1 Website Chat → Complaint received via Website Chat (trigger)
- 2 CRM → Support ticket created with priority rating
- 3 Email → Auto-acknowledgment emailed to customer instantly
- 4 Slack → Support team alerted with complaint details

Steps 2 – 4 run in parallel. Step 5 triggers once all three complete.
Business Impact
Customers feel heard immediately — and your team sees every complaint before it becomes a 1-star review.
eCommerce
Product Launch Coordination
Shopify product goes live → Klaviyo email blast, SMS announcement, and X post all fire simultaneously. Klaviyo and SMS engagement drives VIP Mailchimp email. X activity is tracked in Sheets.

- 2 Klaviyo → New arrival email blast to full subscriber list
- 3 SMS → Launch announcement SMS to opted-in customers
- 4 X → Product launch post published on X
- 5 Mailchimp → VIP early access email to top customers

Steps 2 – 4 run in parallel. Steps 5 and 6 trigger from their respective branches.
Business Impact
Every product launch reaches your entire audience simultaneously — across email, SMS, and social.
The Reality
What ecommerce businesses are up against.
Rising acquisition costs across paid channels
Google Shopping CPCs and Meta Ads costs have climbed 20–30% over three years while iOS tracking changes make attribution harder. Every dollar spent on ads needs to work harder than ever — and without accurate measurement, most stores are optimising blind on true ROAS.
Paid Advertising — Proper cross-channel tracking and campaign optimisation so every ad dollar has a measurable return — before we even think about scaling spend.Cart abandonment and checkout friction
Around 70% of shoppers who add items to a cart leave without buying. Slow load times, limited payment options, and multi-step checkouts are costing stores thousands daily — and most owners don't quantify how much they're losing until they actually run the numbers.
Automation — Automated cart recovery sequences that recapture 15–20% of abandoned baskets — without any manual follow-up from your team.Customer retention vs constant acquisition spend
Acquiring a new customer costs 5–7x more than retaining one, yet most eCommerce brands focus almost entirely on acquisition. Without a post-purchase loyalty and win-back system, the margin you've already earned keeps walking out the door.
CRM — Post-purchase automations and loyalty sequences that turn one-time buyers into repeat customers, running in the background on autopilot.How We Help

2026 Trends
What's reshaping ecommerce.
Sustainability as a conversion factor
77% of Australian online shoppers research a brand's sustainability practices before buying. Stores that surface eco-packaging, ethical supply chain information, and responsible sourcing in their product pages and ads are seeing 22% higher engagement and meaningfully stronger trust metrics.
Buy Now Pay Later as checkout standard
Afterpay, Zip, and Klarna are no longer a differentiator — they're an expectation. Stores with BNPL at checkout report a 20–30% lift in average order value and lower abandonment on higher-priced products, particularly for Gen Z and millennial shoppers where BNPL use is highest.
AI-powered personalisation and predictive stock
56% of Australian retailers are now adopting AI tools for inventory management, product recommendations, and personalised marketing. Predictive personalisation — surfacing the products most likely to resonate with each visitor based on their behaviour — consistently moves conversion rates from the first week of implementation.
FAQs
eCommercedigital marketing FAQs.
How do I increase my eCommerce conversion rate?
Improving conversion rate involves faster page load speed, clearer product descriptions, high-quality images, streamlined checkout, trust signals (reviews, guarantees), and strategic upsells. We audit your current store and implement proven improvements that directly impact revenue.
How much should I spend on ads for my online store?
A realistic starting point is $1,500–$3,000 per month in ad spend for most Australian eCommerce businesses. ROAS (return on ad spend) goals vary by margin — we typically target 3–5x for established stores and optimise from there.
How long does it take to rank an eCommerce store on Google?
Ecommerce SEO typically shows meaningful results within 4–8 months. Category pages and product pages targeting specific search terms can rank faster. The right structure and technical setup from the start dramatically speeds up the process.
What automation can I set up for my eCommerce business?
High-value eCommerce automations include: cart abandonment sequences, post-purchase follow-ups, review request emails, inventory alerts, order status notifications, loyalty programme triggers, and win-back campaigns for lapsed customers.
How do I reduce cart abandonment?
Cart abandonment is reduced through faster checkout, payment method variety (including Buy Now Pay Later), exit-intent offers, abandoned cart email sequences (3-part is proven to recover 15–20% of carts), and streamlining the checkout page to remove distractions.
What's the best platform for an Australian eCommerce store?
Shopify is the most popular for straightforward stores needing fast setup. WooCommerce offers more flexibility at lower ongoing cost. Custom builds suit high-complexity requirements. We assess your volume, budget, and features needed before recommending a platform.
What digital marketing channels work best for eCommerce?
Google Shopping Ads and search ads work extremely well for high-intent buyers. Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) are powerful for discovery-phase products and retargeting. Email marketing has the highest ROI of any eCommerce channel. We typically recommend running all three together.
Should I focus on SEO or paid ads for my online store?
Both. Paid ads deliver immediate sales while SEO builds long-term, compounding organic traffic that doesn't require ongoing ad spend. A healthy eCommerce strategy uses ads for momentum and cash flow while SEO builds the asset over time.
How do I get more reviews for my online store?
Automate post-purchase review requests via email — timed 7–14 days after delivery for physical goods. Platforms like Okendo, Yotpo, and Stamped.io integrate directly with Shopify. Reviews on product pages can increase conversion by 15–25%.
How do I track whether my digital marketing is making money for my store?
We set up eCommerce conversion tracking with Google Analytics 4, Google Ads conversion tracking, Meta Pixel, and server-side tracking where needed. You'll see revenue attributed per channel, per campaign, and per product — not just clicks and impressions.
