Transactional Notifications
- Subject line that communicates the entire context as much as possible
- Body should be in a simple language and concise enough
- CTA for more details
Examples:
Issues:
- Did not send me a tracking link to click on, I had to search Shiprocket on google
- Did not send me an estimate of delivery either, I had to spend extra time exploring Pros:
- Notify customer of order being received
- Notify customer of recent status of order being approved along with an Order ID
- Notify customer that the item was shipped
Issues:
- Does not tell customer when to expect the delivery
- Does not share a tracking link Pros:
- ‘Order Packed’ — context shared without requiring to open full SMS
- Provides details of the SKU that has been packed
- Uber processed an adjusted refund, but did not mention the same in email subject line, the customer would not have known if they did not click on it.
- Swiggy successful orders clearly communicate so in the subject itself
- Both emails have a CTA to download a pdf version of invoice
