E-commerce businesses send emails, but timing is often random or reactive. Missing moments like cart abandonment or post-purchase upsells costs sales.

Build a tool that analyzes customer behavior (purchases, browsing, etc.) and suggests email opportunities. For example: email when a customer abandons a cart or after they purchase, recommending related products.

E-commerce businesses pay for this because it directly increases revenue through better-timed emails.

The MVP could focus on Shopify stores, integrating with their data to provide email trigger recommendations.

The biggest risk is competing with Shopify’s built-in email tools or other automation platforms.
