Vendasta introduces end-to-end platform automations
Vendasta is proud to launch new automations to its end-to-end ecommerce platform, allowing channel partners to quickly operationalize customer life cycle events and serve more of their small business clients, more effectively, and at scale.
Partners can build customized automated workflows with an easy-to-use interface, triggering specific activities. For example, a partner can automatically send a ‘welcome’ email campaign to a local business client, or a local business that interacts with a specific product in their Business App, which can then be captured as a ‘hot lead’ for a partner’s sales team.
