8+ WordPress Marketing Automations That Will Boost Conversions

With Uncanny Automator, your WordPress marketing automations don’t require technical expertise or expensive development. Get started with these proven marketing automations for free.

If you’ve ever tried to build marketing automations for your WordPress site, you already know the struggle. Most solutions fall into one of two camps: expensive, single-purpose tools that only solve one problem and create a dozen others, or a Frankenstein monster of custom coding that requires a developer to stitch together and keep alive.

As a WordPress company ourselves, the Uncanny team understands your pain. Getting your plugins to talk to each other, delivering the right message at the right time, avoiding compatibility landmines, keeping customer data consistent across platforms… it’s a lot.

And when you’re already juggling blog posts, customer emails, product updates, support requests, and the bajillion other tasks that come with running a business, “build sophisticated marketing automations” rarely makes it to the top of the to-do list.

That’s exactly why we built Uncanny Automator.

Automator gives you the power to create bespoke, conversion-driving WordPress marketing automations in 5 minutes or less. All without writing code, without duct-taping plugins together, and without adding yet another pricey SaaS to your monthly bill.

So, whether you’re a solopreneur, a small business, or a growing ecommerce store, you can create powerful marketing automations in just a few clicks.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through 8 proven WordPress marketing automations you can start using right away to boost engagement, nurture customer relationships, and drive more conversions. No developers, no hassle, and no technical expertise needed.

Let’s dive in and get you set up with 8 powerful marketing automations.

WordPress Marketing Automation: Challenges + Solution

WordPress marketing automation is the use of WordPress-based tools to attract, nurture, and convert site visitors through personalized, behavior-driven marketing workflows without manual intervention.

You can think of these marketing automations as the vehicle that drives your customers through the various stages of your sales funnel—from awareness to purchase and retention.

Instead of handling every touchpoint yourself or manually updating records, automations keep your marketing workflows running smoothly, so you can focus on strategy and growing your business.

And for small businesses, that’s a game-changer. Automation helps you deliver the kind of timely, personalized marketing that big brands deliver and that audiences expect today.

But as you’ve probably discovered, setting up marketing automations in WordPress isn’t always simple.

These eight marketing automations are some of the highest-impact workflows we’ve tested internally at Uncanny—and the ones our users rely on to build engagement, increase conversions, and grow their customer relationships.

Each one can be built in minutes using Uncanny Automator, no technical experience required.

1. Automated Email Drip Campaigns

Drip campaigns are one of the most reliable ways to nurture leads and guide them toward conversion. With optimized timing and segmentation, automated drip sequences can increase conversions by up to 350% and boost engagement by nearly 28%.

Using Automator, you can trigger a drip campaign from almost any on-site action: form submissions, quiz completions, event registrations, product purchases, membership signups—you name it.

And the best part? You don’t even need a CRM. Automator’s native email integration makes it easy to launch campaigns, personalize messages, schedule delays, and filter contacts right from your WordPress dashboard.

2. WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Reminders

Abandoned carts are a constant source of lost revenue for WooCommerce businesses—but automated reminders are highly effective at bringing those shoppers back.

Abandoned cart emails consistently see 40–50% open rates and 5–10% conversion rates when sent with good timing and personalization. With Automator’s deep WooCommerce integration, you push those numbers even higher.

Automatically detect when registered users add items to their carts and trigger customized follow-ups. Filters, delays, and integrations like Twilio or WhatsApp allow you to build multi-channel abandoned cart automations without custom development.

3. Customer Birthday and Anniversary Offers

Birthday and anniversary automations are some of the highest-engagement campaigns you can send. Birthday emails average 45–79% open rates and convert at up to 11.6%.

Automator makes it easy to collect and store customer birthdays with the Custom User Fields Addon, CRM integrations, and form builders. Once you have the data, Automator can deliver personalized coupons, store credit, loyalty points, or event registrations—right from your WordPress dashboard and totally without manual intervention.

Automation means no forgotten birthdays—and no missed dates means no missed opportunities.

These automations strengthen customer relationships and encourage repeat purchases with almost no ongoing maintenance.

4. Post-Purchase Surveys and Campaigns

The post-purchase period is one of the most valuable moments in your customer lifecycle. Post-purchase emails have open rates of around 41% and click-through rates of 16–17%, making them ideal for gathering feedback, upselling, or progressive profiling.

With Automator, you can send tailored post-purchase sequences based on the product purchased, order value, customer segment, or purchase frequency. You can also connect surveys to incentives using tools like RafflePress or Advanced Coupons.

With a single recipe, you can collect insights, reinforce loyalty, and extend your customer lifetime value.

5. Re-Engagement Automations

Nearly half of inactive subscribers—about 45%—can be re-engaged with a well-structured campaign. Since re-engagement costs five times less than acquiring new leads, these workflows offer high ROI for small businesses.

Automator supports “we miss you” sequences, inactivity-based reminders, incentive campaigns, and feedback requests triggered by user inactivity, last login date, time since last purchase, or other behavioral markers.

These automations help revive dormant customers and encourage them to take the next action, whether that’s reading new content, purchasing the latest products, or updating preferences.

6. Winback Campaigns

Winback campaigns are similar to re-engagement campaigns, except these customers have fully churned either out of dissatisfaction, forgetfulness, or other reasons. But they don’t have to stay lost—automation can help bring them back from the digital void.

Winback campaigns typically see 15–25% open rates and 2.6–5% click-through rates when combined with good segmentation.

Automator lets you build targeted winback workflows using behavioral triggers, delays, coupons, or personalized recommendations. By combining email, SMS, or CRM-based follow-ups, you can bring lost customers back into your corner of the digital world without relying on third-party services.

7. Social Proof Popups

Real-time social proof is one of the fastest ways to increase conversions, with studies showing a boost of up to 32% and a reduction in bounce rates of 16%.

Using Automator’s Dynamic Content Addon, you can display live notifications anywhere on your site—showing recent purchases, signups, form submissions, product reviews, or other high-intent activity.

These popups help build trust, reduce decision anxiety, and encourage hesitant users to convert. Automator makes it easy to source, format, and display this data without expensive code or single-use plugins.

8. Self-Service Support Automations

Support interactions are often overlooked marketing opportunities. Automated knowledge base workflows can reduce support tickets by up to 30% and improve satisfaction by 12%. They also present you with the perfect opportunity to build brand identity, foster loyalty, and even upsell.

With Automator’s integrations—including ChatGPT, Perplexity, HubSpot, Brevo, and Mailchimp—you can automatically respond to inquiries, tag contacts, update CRM records, and build richer customer profiles based on support behavior.

You can also log support events in Google Sheets to analyze trends and improve future content or automations.
