  • Click Create:


Step 2. Create an Automation

Create an Automation within your Offer to make sure your ebook is delivered promptly after purchase:

  • Open the Sales tab from your Dashboard.
  • Select your Offer.
  • Locate the Automations section at the bottom of the page.
  • Click + Add Automation.
  • From the WHEN dropdown, select "Offer is purchased".
  • From the THEN dropdown, select "Send an email".
