Steps to Automate New Customer Notifications in WooCommerce with Gmail

Step 1: Copy the WooCommerce-Gmail automation template

To kick things off, let's get started with this great WooCommerce-Gmail automation template on Activepieces. It's a top-notch template that will give you a leg up and save you loads of time.

Step 2: Grasp the WooCommerce-Gmail automation flow

Once you've copied the automation template and logged onto your Activepieces account, you'll find a ready-to-go flow on your screen. Now, it's crucial to understand how this automation thingamajig works.

The first step in the flow is the trigger, which starts the whole shebang. This guy springs into action every time there's a new customer in WooCommerce.

After the trigger, comes the 'Send Email' step. It takes over the baton and sends an email through Gmail to your fresh customer. The beauty of it is, you don't have to lift a finger to do this manually - the magic happens behind the scenes!

Alright, now that we've got the lay of the land, it's time to make this automation flow our own. Let's march on to configure the steps:

1. Configure the 'Customer' Trigger: Click on the 'Customer' step (the first step in your flow). Here, you have to add your WooCommerce store details. Just click on '+ New Connection' and follow the instructions to connect your WooCommerce account.

2. Tweak the 'Send Email' Settings: Next up, let's move to the 'Send Email' step. Click on it, then tap on '+ New Connection' to connect your Gmail account. Just follow the instructions in the connection popup to complete this step.

3. Take your WooCommerce-Gmail automation live: You made it! You're all set up and ready to rumble. All that's left is to hit the 'Publish' button and your flow will go live. This nifty little automation will keep you in the loop whenever there's a new customer in WooCommerce, without you having to break a sweat.
