The problem it solves

Every new order means the same manual routine: adding the customer to your CRM, creating an invoice, and deciding what follow-up email to send. It is easy for a step to get missed or delayed when orders come in fast, especially the ones worth extra attention.

Who it fits

An e-commerce business running Shopify that wants new orders handled consistently in its CRM, invoicing, and customer follow-up.

How it works

  1. A new Shopify order triggers the automation
  2. The order details are saved to Zoho CRM
  3. An invoice is created in Harvest and logged in Trello
  4. Orders above the value threshold get a discount email and join a Mailchimp campaign for high-value customers
  5. Smaller orders receive a simple thank-you email
What you get

Discount campaigns that turn into repeat purchases

Every new order gets logged in your CRM, invoiced automatically, and followed up with the right email for its value.

What you get

A CRM record, an invoice, a Trello card, and the right follow-up email for every new order.

What you need

Shopify, Zoho CRM, Harvest, Trello, Gmail, and Mailchimp accounts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
