This play is for you if you want to drive more cross-sells, but want to feature best selling products instead of using Repeat’s Product Predictions.
Use Repeat’s trigger to automatically kick off a flow in Klaviyo, Postscript, and Attentive.
What Customers Experience
- Automatic email or sms messages at the ideal time to encourage a cross-sell
- An easy way to shop your best selling products
- Optionally, the products that they previously purchased for easy repurchasing
How This Play Works
This play uses Repeat’s "Primed For Cross-sell" trigger for the ideal timing and dynamically populated content.
Timing
The trigger’s timing is unique for each customer, based on:
- The products a customer purchased before
- Historical data about other customers with similar purchases
Previously Purchased Products
The trigger provides a list of previously purchased products so customers can easily repurchase a product that they bought before.
If you’re designing an email or SMS for this automated flow that features a single product, we recommend using the previously purchased list to exclude customers that already bought that product. You can create a couple variations of the email with different products if you want to make sure you have everyone covered.
Setting It Up
This play is easy to launch with provided guides for Klaviyo, Postscript, and Attentive. We’ve also provided some email examples and copy suggestions to get you started.

Setup Guides
Klaviyo Setup
What we’re building
We’ll build a flow with three emails, powered by the Repeat - Due for 2nd Order Cross Sell trigger:
1. Create a flow and add the trigger
Create a new flow and choose the metric called Repeat - Due for 2nd Order Cross Sell for the flow’s trigger.
2. Add the first email to the flow
Add the first email to the flow. We recommend starting with a template that you’ve used before for a quicker start. We also recommend turning off smart sending for this flow.
3. Add a table to the email for previously purchased products
This table will use the previously purchased products list contained in the list Due For 2nd Order Cross Sell trigger. We’ll set it up with a text block in the left column and an image in the right column.
4. Make the table dynamic
Here, we’ll make the table dynamic so that it repeats a row for each item in the previously purchased products list. To do this, go to Table Settings, choose Dynamic, enter event.previouslyPurchased for the “Row collection” and item for the “Row alias,” then click done.
5. Add the dynamic text and images to the table rows
Here’s where we’ll set up the text content and images for the items in the previously purchased products list. First, edit the text column. Switch to the HTML view and paste in this code (be sure to update YOURWEBSITE.COM to your brand’s website):
<h3>{{ item.product.title}}</h3>
<h4>{{ item.product.variant.title|cut:"Default Title" }}</h4>
<h4><a href="https://YOURWEBSITE.COM/products/{{item.product.handle}}"><span>Check it out ></span></a></h4>Then, change the image to a dynamic image that references this property:
{{ item.product.images.0.src }}
6. Add additional content and style your email
Here, you’ll need to add in content around the best seller product that you want to recommend to customers. Add some copy and make it feel like your brand!
7. Duplicate your email
We recommend adding two more emails to this flow. The easiest way to do that is by duplicating the email you just created. Clone the email twice, then add time delays between the new emails. 2-3 days between messages is a great place to start. Once you’ve duplicated, you can change up the content and copy of the new emails to add variation.
8. Add a flow filter
Add a flow filter to remove people from the flow if they have placed an order since starting it.

We’ll add three messages to this flow. We recommend setting the wait time to 3 days between messages. Here’s some sample copy to get you started:
Hey {first_name}! You're going to love our product.

{prediction_pdp_url}3. Add delays & remove customers from the flow after purchasing
We recommend adding a 5-day delay between each message. We’ll also add a branch after the delay (and before the next message is sent) to check if a customer has made purchase since starting the Journey.
