Short answer
A post-purchase flow is an automated series of emails after a purchase, such as order confirmation, onboarding tips, review requests and cross-sell offers. It reassures customers, reduces support questions and encourages product use. Well-timed post-purchase messages build loyalty and can drive repeat purchases, increasing customer lifetime value.
