A popular Fomo use case is to "send" events from one template to another. Reasons to do this:
- ecommerce store that sales 100+ products, but only want to show sales from ONE product on "buy.mystore.com" landing page
- only want to show "for sale" items on specific page or pages
- multiple business or product lines under 1 Fomo site instance, and need to separate what customers see
With our Template Actions feature, you can achieve exactly this.
If you aren't sure what a Template or Event is, check out this explanation.
Step 1
Create a fresh template via Integrations > Rest API > green "new +" button. This will be your "destination" for copied or moved events (from another Fomo integration/template).
Step 2
Visit the integration containing the data you'd like to "move", e.g. Shopify. This integration connection is the "source" of your data and your template from Step 1 is the new "container" for your . Scroll down and click to open your template, e.g. "Shopify Order." Navigate to the "Actions" tab once inside the template editor.
Step 3
On the Actions tab, select a variable from the "Add a new action" form and set up whatever conditional logic you want.
In the "then/this" section, choose either "change" or "copy" pending what you want to achieve.
Step 4
On the right side, choose the template you created in Step 1 and then click "add action" to save your work.
In the example above, a template rule will make a copy of all events with title containing 'special sale' and send that copy to the template "Purchase Conversion."
Step 5
With your templates and data now routing properly, you probably want to set up a Page Rule. A Page Rule gives you full control over which template shows up on a specific page path.
Navigate to Rules in the top menu bar and create a rule such as:
- IF url begins with "/some-landing-page," ONLY show template "Special Sales"
- IF visitor is on homepage, THEN do not show template "All Orders"
