Here's how you can set up a Flow workflow to send an email notification every time a customer makes a purchase.
Step 1: Install the Flow template
1. Go to Shopify Flow → Browse templates
2. Search for Alpha Loyalty workflows
3. Choose the template you need and click Install
Step 2: Set up your email
Open the newly added workflow for editing. Click on the "Send marketing email" step, choose Select template → Code your own.
Copy and paste the code of the ready-to-use Liquid email template we have prepared for you.
Subject line:
You've earned some loyalty points! 🎁
Paste this Liquid code:
<div style="text-align: center; color: #000000; padding: 20px 0;">
<h1 style="font-size: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; font-weight: 400;">
You've earned {{customer.metafields.alpha_loyalty.last_points_earned}} points
</h1>
<p style="font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; color: #000000;">
Great work! You placed an order and earned {{customer.metafields.alpha_loyalty.last_points_earned}} points.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 30px; color: #000000;">
Now you have {{customer.metafields.alpha_loyalty.balance}} points to redeem.
</p>
<a href="{{shop.url}}/?AlLo_open_widget"
style="background-color: #4E488C; cursor: pointer; color: #ffffff; padding: 18px 45px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 50px; font-size: 16px; display: inline-block; margin-bottom: 40px;">
Redeem now
</a>
<p style="font-size: 12px; color: #646462;">
No longer want to receive these emails? {{unsubscribe_link}}
</p>
{{open_tracking_block}}
</div>
Then press the Set to active button for the template and turn the Shopify flow on.
Here's what the email will look like in your client's inbox:
Coding your own email
If you'd like to code your own email, you can use these dynamic Liquid variables (remember to add them via a Custom Liquid block):
{{customer.metafields.alpha_loyalty.last_points_earned}} — points earned from the last activity
{{customer.metafields.alpha_loyalty.balance}} — the customer's current points balance
💡 The last_points_earned variable is created by this Flow workflow right before sending the email — that's why you can only use this variable within our template.
