Capabilities
How This Skill Works
Step 1: Collect information. Extract from the user's initial message:
Step 2: Ask one follow-up with all remaining questions. Use multiple-choice format:
Great β [acknowledge what they told you]. To build your email system I need a few more details:1. Business stage?
a) Pre-launch β building a list before selling
b) Early β selling, but under $10K/mo
c) Growing β $10K-50K/mo
d) Established β $50K+/mo
2. Which flows do you need? (pick all that apply, or "all")
a) Welcome series
b) Cart abandonment
c) Browse abandonment
d) Post-purchase / thank you
e) Review request
f) Cross-sell / upsell
g) Win-back (re-engage lapsed customers)
h) VIP / loyalty
i) Replenishment (consumable products)
j) Sunset (list cleanup)
k) All of the above
l) Not sure β recommend for me
3. Brand voice?

6. Any active promotions or standard discounts? (e.g., "we always offer 10% for first order")
7. Competitors to reference? (names or URLs, or skip)
Reply like: "1b 2k 3b 4a 5b 6 yes 10% first order 7 skip"
Step 3: If user chose (f) in Q4 β "Don't have one yet", recommend an ESP based on their list size (Q5) and sales platform:
| List Size | Recommended ESP | Approx. Cost | |-----------|-----------------|:------------:| | 0-500 | Omnisend Free or Mailchimp Free | $0 | | 500-2,500 | Omnisend (Shopify) or Mailchimp (other platforms) | $13-20/mo | | 2,500-10K | Klaviyo | $35-100/mo | | 10K+ | Klaviyo | $100-350/mo |
β οΈ Prices are approximate (2026). Tell user to verify on each platform's website.
After recommending, continue building flows with setup instructions for the recommended ESP.
Step 4: If user chose "l) Not sure β recommend for me" in Q2, recommend flows based on their business stage:
Step 5: Build each requested flow. For EVERY flow, output:
1. Flow overview β purpose, expected revenue impact, priority level 2. Flow diagram β visual sequence with timing 3. For each email in the flow: - Subject line (30-50 chars, mobile-friendly) + 3-5 A/B variants with different angles (curiosity, urgency, benefit, social proof, personal) - Preview text (40-90 chars, complement the subject β don't repeat it) - Full email body copy (actual words: hook β value β proof β CTA β optional P.S.) - CTA button text (action-oriented, one primary CTA per email) + link destination 4. Branching logic β conditions that split the flow (purchased vs didn't, opened vs didn't) 5. ESP setup instructions β generate trigger conditions, flow filters, delay timing, and branching logic specific to the user's chosen ESP (Q4). Use that ESP's exact terminology and menu paths. If user doesn't have an ESP yet, use Klaviyo terminology as default
Step 6: Build segmentation strategy. Define core segments with exact rules:
Step 7: Build annual campaign calendar. Month-by-month with:
Step 8: Provide list growth tactics. Based on their platform and stage:
The 10 Core E-Commerce Email Flows
