In automations where a contact converts once they make a purchase, you may want to use a goal to move that contact to a different part of the automation. To create a goal that activates when a contact makes a purchase, use the condition “Last Order Date is Current date.” Our first instinct might be to use the condition “Has made a purchase.” However, this condition applies to any contact who has ever made a purchase — including contacts who have yet to enter the automation — and will result in contacts entering and immediately jumping to the goal. Consider that “Last Order Date is Current date” will also apply to any contact who made a purchase that day before triggering the automation. If this is a problem, consider adding more conditions to narrow the possibilities (like Product ID or Has made a purchase in a particular store) or creating a separate automation that adds a tag when a contact makes a purchase and uses that tag in place of Ecommerce conditions.
If you delete a “Wait” action while contacts are queued, those contacts will proceed to the next action in the automation. If it looks like the queued contacts have disappeared once the action is deleted, don’t panic! It can take a few minutes to process.
