Instant Order Confirmations at Any Scale

AI generates and sends itemized confirmation emails the moment an order is placed. High-volume, reliable, fully automated.


Why this matters

Delayed or missing order confirmation emails are the number one driver of 'where is my order?' support tickets. When customers don't receive immediate confirmation, they lose confidence in the purchase and may attempt duplicate orders or contact support unnecessarily. Manual or slow confirmation systems can't keep up with order volume during peak periods.


How MultiMail solves this

MultiMail's AI agent processes order events in real time and sends confirmation emails instantly with itemized details, expected delivery dates, and tracking information. Autonomous oversight is ideal for order confirmations because they're event-driven, templated, and low-risk — the content comes directly from your order system, not AI generation.

1

Receive Order Event

Your order management system triggers the AI agent via webhook or API when a new order is placed. The event includes order details, customer information, and shipping estimates.

2

Generate Confirmation Email

The agent composes a confirmation email with itemized product details, pricing, shipping address, and estimated delivery date. It can include personalized product recommendations based on purchase history.

3

Send Immediately

Under autonomous oversight, the confirmation is sent instantly via send_email. No human approval needed — the content is derived from verified order data.

4

Track Delivery

The agent tags the email and updates the contact record using add_contact with order metadata for downstream tracking and future communications.


Implementation

Process Order Event and Send Confirmation
python
import requests

API = "https://api.multimail.dev/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer mm_live_xxx"}

def handle_order_event(order: dict):
    "cm"># Build itemized order details
    items = "\n".join([
        f"- {item[&"cm">#039;name']} x{item['qty']} — ${item['price']:.2f}"
        for item in order["items"]
    ])

    confirmation = (
        f"Hi {order[&"cm">#039;customer_name']},\n\n"
        f"Your order "cm">#{order['id']} has been confirmed!\n\n"
        f"Items:\n{items}\n\n"
        f"Total: ${order[&"cm">#039;total']:.2f}\n"
        f"Estimated delivery: {order[&"cm">#039;estimated_delivery']}\n\n"
        f"Track your order: {order[&"cm">#039;tracking_url']}"
    )

    response = requests.post(
        f"{API}/send",
        headers=HEADERS,
        json={
            "from": "[email protected]",
            "to": order["customer_email"],
            "subject": f"Order confirmed! "cm">#{order['id']} ships tomorrow",
            "text_body": confirmation,
            "html_body": build_order_html(order)
        }
    )
    print(f"Confirmation sent: {response.json()[&"cm">#039;id']}")

Handle an incoming order event and send an instant confirmation email.

Update Contact with Order History
python
import requests

API = "https://api.multimail.dev/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer mm_live_xxx"}

def update_contact_order_history(order: dict):
    "cm"># Add or update contact with order info
    requests.post(
        f"{API}/contacts",
        headers=HEADERS,
        json={
            "email": order["customer_email"],
            "name": order["customer_name"],
            "metadata": {
                "last_order_id": order["id"],
                "last_order_date": order["date"],
                "total_orders": order.get("lifetime_orders", 1),
                "customer_segment": order.get("segment", "standard")
            }
        }
    )

Store order metadata on the contact record for future personalization.

Common questions

How quickly are confirmation emails sent after an order?
MultiMail processes API requests in real time. Your AI agent sends the confirmation email within seconds of receiving the order event. The end-to-end latency from order placement to inbox delivery is typically under 30 seconds, depending on your order system's event speed.
Can I include tracking information in the confirmation?
Yes. If tracking information is available at order time, include it in the confirmation. If tracking is generated later, use the shipping-updates use case to send a follow-up email with the tracking link once it's available.
How do I handle order modifications after confirmation?
Your AI agent can send updated confirmation emails when an order is modified. Include a clear subject line indicating the update (e.g., 'Updated: Order #12345') and highlight what changed. MultiMail's thread tracking keeps all order communications in one thread.
Does this work with my existing e-commerce platform?
MultiMail is API-driven infrastructure. Connect it to any e-commerce platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, custom) that can send webhook events or make API calls when orders are placed. The integration is a simple HTTP POST to trigger your AI agent.
