Managing Customer Profile Actions (Gifts, Points, Messages & Blocking)

A guide to the manual actions available from a customer's profile: sending a compensation gift, adding or deducting store credit, adjusting points, logging a visit, sending a message, and blocking a fraudulent account.

Written by Sarah Appfront

Overview

From a customer's profile, you can take a number of manual actions: send a compensation gift, add or deduct store credit, adjust points, log a visit, send a one-off message, manage their subscription to texts/emails, or block a fraudulent account.

Finding a Customer

Look up the customer by phone number — phone number is the system's unique identifier. Their profile shows rewards, points balance, lifetime value, and visit history.

Actions

  • Send a gift — Compensate a customer by sending them a gift through a compensation campaign (for example, a "We're sorry" campaign). Best for recurring or templated compensation flows. See Campaign Triggers 101 for more on compensation campaigns.

  • Deduct points — Rarely used; useful if there was a point redemption issue and points need to be manually removed.

  • Add or deduct store credit — Previously this action only let you deduct store credit (for example, to correct a redemption issue). You can now add store credit directly from the profile as well — so a one-off credit (e.g., "sorry about your order, here's $5") no longer requires building a campaign. Use this for one-off cases; use a compensation campaign instead for anything recurring or templated.

  • Add points (log a visit) — Add a visit with the check amount, check number, location, and time. Points are added automatically based on your points ratio.

  • Send a message — Send an individual message or notification to the customer.

  • Manage texts/emails — If a customer wants to stop receiving texts, you can unsubscribe them here.

  • Block for fraud — Under Security & Privacy, you can block a customer's account. See Blocking Customer Profiles for full steps.
