Integration With Yotpo SMS & Email

ReturnGO integrates with Yotpo SMS & Email to enable you to easily customize and automate post-purchase notifications. 

By integrating the two platforms, you can create custom Yotpo flows to send post-purchase emails and/or SMS notifications instead of sending them directly through ReturnGO. This provides a wider range of customization options and capabilities, enabling you to send notifications on multiple channels, while maintaining your brand style and language.

Capabilities 

The Yotpo integration supports:

• Automated event triggers.

• Sending emails and SMSs using RMA information and events.
• Sending emails and SMSs using order tracking information and events, for stores using ReturnGO order tracking.

Requirements 

To integrate Yotpo with your ReturnGO account, you will need: 

• ReturnGO Enterprise Plan
• Any Yotpo Plan
• Your Yotpo account login information
• Customer information
  • To receive email notifications, customers need to have provided an email address.
  • To receive SMS notifications, customers need to have provided a phone number.

To link your Yotpo account to ReturnGO: 

1. Go to Integration > Products & Services. 
2. Click on +ADD PRODUCT OR SERVICE. 
3. Choose Yotpo from the drop-down list.

Sending Notifications from Yotpo

Choose which notifications to send via Yotpo, ReturnGO, or not send at all.

The system will update your Yotpo account only for events that you select on the Settings > Email > Content page. This includes SMS notifications, which cannot be sent directly through ReturnGO, but can be sent through Yotpo if you enable the notification to be sent via Yotpo (note that while the page is about emails, this refers to SMSs too).

To define the channel through which each notification will be sent:

1. Go to Settings > Email > Content.
2. Open the section of the notification type you want to configure, Return Emails or Order Tracking Emails.

3. Open the dropdown next to each notification you want to change, and select whether you want to send it via Yotpo, ReturnGO, or not at all.
4. Click the save icon.

For notifications you mark to send via Yotpo, create Yotpo flows to send them and trigger these flows based on the relevant events.

Events & Variables

ReturnGO events act as triggers for Yotpo flows, and ReturnGO variables can be added to notifications to personalize the information provided.

Clicking on the lightning bolt icon at the top of the email content page in ReturnGO will take you to the Variables & Events page, where you can view all ReturnGO events and variables.

Events

ReturnGO events can be used as triggers in Yotpo flows, to automatically send certain notifications when a certain event happens, such as when the request is approved or the shipment is received.

Return Events

Tracking Events

Variables

Adding variables to your notifications can personalize the information provided, such as adding the RMA ID or reject reason directly into the message.

Testing the Integration

To manually test event triggers and see the effects in Yotpo:

2. Click on the test tube icon next to the relevant event.

3. In the test email pop-up:
