In short

How do I automatically draft win-back emails for lapsed Shopify customers?

WebRun identifies lapsed Shopify customers who have not purchased in 90 or more days every Monday, drafts a personalised win-back email for each that references their last purchase, and saves every message as a Gmail draft. Your team reviews and sends the ones they approve, so no customer receives an unreviewed message.

  • Every lapsed customer gets a personalised draft within the week, not months later
  • No customer receives a win-back email without human review and approval
  • Repeat outreach suppression prevents annoyance and protects your brand

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send win-back emails to customers on its own?

No. Every win-back email is saved as a Gmail draft and held for your review. No message is sent to a customer until a team member opens the draft and clicks Send.

How does it know who counts as lapsed?

The default threshold is 90 days since the last completed Shopify order. You can adjust this during setup to match your typical buying cycle, for example 60 days for fast-replenishment products.

Will the same customer receive a draft every week?

No. WebRun excludes customers who received a win-back draft in the last 60 days so lapsed customers are not flooded with repeated outreach.
