About Drip
Drip is a commercial marketing automation service designed for online stores. It connects to ecommerce platforms, tracks what shoppers browse and buy, and uses that information to trigger email and text messages, such as welcome series, cart reminders and win-back offers.
Marketers build automations in a visual workflow editor and can segment audiences by behavior and purchase history, then measure results in revenue-focused reports. Drip is hosted rather than self-installed, and it is aimed at small and mid-sized direct-to-consumer brands that want more targeting than a basic newsletter tool provides.
