Setting up workflows and using Growave templates
Workflows in Omnisend allow you to automate email campaigns based on specific conditions. Here’s how to set them up:
Create a workflow
- Go to the Automation section in Omnisend and click Create workflow.
- Select Create from scratch.
Define the workflow structure
Select a trigger: A trigger is an event or condition that initiates a workflow in Omnisend.
In the right sidebar, click the "Please select event" dropdown, search for Growave, or scroll to the API section and select a trigger.
Growave provides a set of triggers to integrate with Omnisend, including:
- growave-birthday-reward
- growave-earned-points
- growave-friend-received-referral
- growave-points-expiration
- growave-reached-tier
- growave-redeem-reward
- growave-referral-completed
- growave-review-request
- growave-wishlist-back-in-stock
- growave-wishlist-on-sale
- growave-wishlist-on-save
Growave also offers email templates associated with each trigger.
Define audience filters: Use audience filters in Omnisend to narrow down your email recipients based on specific criteria such as demographics, purchase behavior, or engagement history.

Set up exit conditions: By default, workflows built using Growave triggers do not require specific exit conditions. However, you can use the exit conditions to remove contacts from a workflow when they no longer meet the requirements or when the process is complete.

Add an email block and choose the template
Drag and drop the email block to the "+" button.
Use Growave’s email template associated with the trigger.
- Fill in the email subject line, preheader, and sender name fields.
- Click the "Edit content" button in the email block and then "Yes, save" in the popup window.
- Select Change template from the drop-down menu next to the Preview & test button, and then "Continue" to confirm changing the email template.
- Go to the Saved templates tab, choose Growave's template related to the trigger, and click Use template.
📖 Learn more about Growave templates and how to import them
Customize the template as needed, but avoid altering the text of event variables within square brackets (e.g., [[event.VARIABLE_NAME]]
) to ensure proper functionality. Once done, click Finish Editing.

Change the name and start the workflow
Give your workflow a descriptive name and click Start workflow.
Repeat these steps to create workflows for other notifications using Growave triggers and templates.
Configuring reminders for Review requests and Wishlisted items
Growave supports up to three reminders for review requests and wishlisted items.
- Create separate workflows for each reminder:
Use the same template and personalize the content for each workflow.
Set the Trigger filter to remindRound
as follows:
- First reminder:
remindRound
exactly1
- Second reminder:
remindRound
exactly2
- Third reminder:
remindRound
exactly3
- Optional single workflow configuration:
If you prefer not to send different email contents, create a single workflow that doesn’t use the remind_round
variable. This workflow will send the same email content three times.
NOTE: After integrating with Omnisend, Growave will no longer send emails directly. You must enable notifications in Growave and set up the corresponding triggers in Omnisend.
For example, enabling Review Request emails in Growave allows you to specify the number of days after an order is paid, fulfilled, or delivered for the email to be sent. Omnisend then triggers the workflow based on the growave-review-request
event.
