Excellent plugin and outstanding support.

The plugin works exactly as expected and solves a very specific WooCommerce email workflow perfectly.What really stands out is the WPFactory support team — responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful.

Very useful and great support

Support made a new version of the plugin within a few days for a bug we experienced.The plugin itself is very powerful for custom mails and (marketing) automation within Woocommerce.
