# Quickstart

Follow the below steps to get started with Spreeflo in minutes. ### Prerequisite: Install the Spreeflo app from the [Spreeflo Shopify App page](https://apps.shopify.com/spreeflo). ### Step 1: Onboarding After you install the Spreeflo app from the [Spreeflo Shopify App page](https://apps.shopify.com/spreeflo), you'll be prompted with an onboarding modal. Please add the email address that you want Spree to send to your customers on your behalf. For example, if you want your customers to receive marketing emails from , then enter into the "Email address" input field. You must have access to the provided email's inbox to complete email verification.

### Step 2: Email verification A verification email would be sent to the email address provided. Please click into the link inside the verification email. This will permit Spree to send emails to your customers on your behalf with your email address. Emails will be sent to your customers from until you complete email verification. You can change the email address in Spreeflo settings if required.

### Step 2.5 (optional): Create customer segments in Shopify Marketing campaigns start with the customer segments that you create on your Shopify Store — and Spreeflo makes it easy to get started with any preexisting customer segments. Shopify have customer segments already defined for any store, e.g. "Abandoned checkouts in the last 30 days", "Customers who have purchased at least once", etc. If these segments still exist and contain customers that are subscribed for email marketing, then Spree will prepare marketing campaigns specific for those segment customers. However ***if your store does not have any customer segments or any segment with customers that consent for email marketing, then Spree will not be able to prepare marketing campaigns***. You will have to define customer segments which will then define your marketing strategy for Spree to follow. You can define customer segments in **Shopify -> Customers -> Segments** on the left hand panel.

### Step 3: Review and approve jobs Spree will almost immediately prepare marketing emails with discount codes. Each marketing correspondence for each customer are known as a "job". Every email copy including the discount code itself will be personalised for each customer. By default, Spree will not send any correspondence to your customers without your approval. You should regularly revisit the Spreeflo app to review and approve each job. Pending jobs will have a "Preview" option for you to view the correspondence.

Example discount email sent to user who abandoned checkout.

### Step 4: Relax As long as you have customer segments defined with customers that consented to email marketing, then Spree will continuously be working in the background for you; day and night. You'll be able to monitor Spree's achieved sales in the Spreefo app. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
