        The Malomo and Yotpo integration allows merchants to send personalized and targeted emails or SMS messages based on the shipping events and status of orders tracked by Malomo.

        This integration will allow  Malomo to send tracking information back to Yotpo, so you can incorporate shipping data into automated flows in near real-time.

        In this article, you will learn how to connect Malomo and Yotpo and how to set up email and SMS flows for Malomo events.

        About Malomo

        Malomo is a branded order tracking & analytics platform that helps connect users. Malomo proactively monitors every shipment you send and can detect dozens of different post-purchase events. Use those events to trigger email and SMS messages to your customers, or alert your Customer experience team of critical issues.

        Send transactional messages directly from your marketing platforms so you can easily control the design and content. Transactional messages also see a 3x higher open and click-through rate. Use them to re-market and turn delivery from a cost center into a powerful retention engine.

        Connecting Malomo with Yotpo SMS & Email

        To connect Malomo with Yotpo:

        1. In your Yotpo SMS & Email main menu, go to Integrations.

        Setting up SMS & Email flows

        • 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
