Event procedures

Order processing mostly consists of routine tasks. To a large extent, you can let your plentymarkets system take care of these tasks. In particular, sending emails to your customer is a time-consuming tasks, but nonetheless a vital aspect of a service- and customer-oriented online store. With the Event procedures, plentymarkets provides you with an efficient tool for setting up such automatic processes that are reliably managed by your plentymarkets system. The basic principle of event procedures is simple: Certain Events that occur in the online store trigger specific Procedures.

Example: Sending order confirmations

To automatically send an order confirmation to the customer as soon as a new order is placed, you can create an event procedure in which the Event New order is followed by the procedure Send email. With the help of the Filter function, you can define for which of the new orders emails should be sent.

Creating an event procedure always consists of the following steps:

Creating an event procedure
Selecting an event
Adding one or multiple filters
Determining which Procedures should be carried out by the system once the selected event takes place
Activating the event procedure

For practical examples of how to use event procedures effectively, refer to the Best Practices: Procedure manager and event procedures page of the manual.
