TL;DR - Quick Answer

Create four key Black Friday automations: abandoned cart recovery (triggered 1 hour after abandonment), post-purchase thank-you (triggers 2 hours after order), win-back campaign for pre-BF non-buyers, and a post-BF retention sequence for new customers.

What Black Friday Automations Should I Create?

Black Friday automation is what separates stores that scale efficiently from those that burn out their team. The right automations run 24/7 during the busiest shopping period without requiring manual intervention - capturing revenue that would otherwise be left on the table.

Essential BF Automations

  • Cart recovery: Email at 1h, 4h, 24h after abandonment
  • Post-purchase: Thank-you + shipping info (2h delay)
  • Win-back: Email lapsed customers before BF starts
  • Post-BF retention: 7-day, 21-day, 45-day sequence

BF-Specific Automation Settings

  • - Shorter cart recovery window (1h vs. normal 2h)
  • - Higher urgency copy referencing BF deadline
  • - Suppress regular "welcome series" during BF week
  • - Pause unrelated automations to reduce inbox noise

Growth Suite: Trigger Campaigns handle all of these automations from a single platform - set up once before Black Friday, then run automatically through the entire BFCM period and post-event retention window.
