Integrating Malomo and Yotpo SMS & Email
Pre Requisites: Completed Shopify <> Malomo Integration
Set up Time: 15-20 Minutes
With this integration, you can send personalized and targeted emails or SMS messages based on the status of their orders and any related shipments. Messages can be tailored to drive traffic to branded tracking pages to increase cross-sells, reduce support tickets, and create more brand exposure. This integration will allow Malomo to send tracking information to Yotpo, so you can incorporate shipping data into automated flows in near real-time.
Complete the following procedure to set up the integration for Malomo and Yotpo.
Connecting Malomo with Yotpo SMS & Email
To connect Malomo with Yotpo:
In your Yotpo SMS & Email main menu, go to Integrations.
Search for Malomo in the navigation bar and click Connect.
Complete the prompts of the install flow. Once complete, you’ll see the integration is successfully installed within your Yotpo account.
You are all set to use the integration and set up your flows.
Setting up SMS & Email flows
To make the most out of the integration, we recommend setting up flows for the following statuses as the main shipping emails:
Pre Transit
In Transit
Out for Delivery
Delivered
And then, these as add-ons for shipping issues:
Failure (Delivery Attempted)
Available for Pickup
Return to Sender
See below to view the full list of available Malomo events.
Malomo Events
The Malomo and Yotpo SMS & Email integration supports the following events as triggers in Yotpo for SMS flows.
Event name | Description |
| The carrier doesn’t know the current status of the shipment. This is typically seen when a shipping label has been created, but before the label has registered in the carrier’s system. |
| A shipping label was created and has been registered in the carrier’s system. However, the carrier has not yet taken possession of the shipment. |
| The shipment is in the carrier’s possession and is en route to its destination. |
| The shipment is currently on its last mile and is en route to the destination address. |
| The local delivery vehicle has reported the package was delivered. |
| The shipment was not successfully delivered and is en route back to sender. |
| The delivery has been canceled typically by either the seller or recipient. |
| The shipment is available for pickup from the carrier’s facility such as a post office. |
| A delivery was attempted but the shipment could not be delivered. |
| An unknown delivery error occurred. |
Setting up SMS & Email flows
In your Yotpo SMS & Email main menu, go to Flows and click Create Flow from Scratch.
Click Choose Trigger and search for Malomo.
Select the relevant flow trigger based on the event you are looking for.
Choose SMS/MMS Message or Email as an action. This means an SMS/MMS message or email (depending on what you choose) will be sent as an outcome once the Trigger, i.e., shipment delivered, is updated to Shipment Delivered in Malomo.
When configuring the text of your SMS or Email, select Shortcodes/Merge below the message box to open the list of available properties sent to Yotpo via Malomo.
Create the message with the help of shortcodes (SMS) or merge tags (email). In place of these shortcodes customer, order, and tracking data will be auto-populated with the relevant information.
