Overview

What you can achieve

Capabilities are grouped around merchant outcomes, not API terminology.

Protect revenue

Find failures, leaks and risks before they cost sales.

Grow revenue

Improve discovery, conversion, campaigns and repeat purchase.

Control risk and change

Keep tracking, access and change under governed control.

Run operations

Monitor orders, fulfilment, delivery and settlement.

Customer experience

Find storefront, speed, accessibility and journey problems.

From connection to verified outcome

The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step.

1. Connect

   Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted.

2. Monitor

   Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults.

3. Detect

   Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store.

4. Recommend

   Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action.

5. Approve

   You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes.

6. Execute

   Apply through governed connector operations.

7. Verify

   Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt.

No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls.

Spam complaint rate > 0.1%

Severity critical · Outcome Protect revenue · Fix status Report only

Spam complaints are the fastest way to damage sender reputation with mailbox providers; a rate this high can get future campaigns throttled or routed to spam even for recipients who never complained, which drags down deliverability for the whole list, not just the segment that complained.

Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

Reference: EM-DEL-002

Abandoned-cart flow not live

Severity high · Outcome Protect revenue · Fix status Report only

Abandoned-cart recovery is usually the single highest-ROI automation in email: high-intent shoppers who nearly bought are contacted at exactly the right moment. Without it they are never contacted at all.

Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

Reference: EM-FLOW-001

Bounce rate > 5%

Severity high · Outcome Protect revenue · Fix status Report only

More than 1 in 20 emails is bouncing. Beyond the immediate lost reach, mailbox providers watch bounce rate as a sender-reputation signal, and a rate this high risks future emails, even to good addresses, landing in spam instead of the inbox.

Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

Reference: EM-DEL-001

Delivery rate < 95%

Severity high · Outcome Protect revenue · Fix status Report only

More than 1 in 20 emails is not reaching an inbox at all, whether blocked, bounced, or filtered. Every campaign, promotion or transactional email built on this list is reaching a materially smaller audience than the send count suggests.

Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

Reference: EM-DEL-003

Welcome flow not live

Severity medium · Outcome Grow revenue · Fix status Report only

New subscribers are at their most engaged in their first days; without a live welcome flow that window closes unconverted.

Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

Reference: EM-FLOW-002

Limited segmentation , fewer than 3 segments

Severity low · Outcome Protect revenue · Fix status Report only

With fewer than 3 segments, campaigns are almost certainly going to the entire list every time, new customers and loyal repeat buyers, engaged subscribers and people who have not opened an email in a year, all treated identically. That flattens response rates and raises the same unsubscribe and spam

Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

Reference: EM-LIST-001

Too many draft flows (> 3) , launch tech debt

Severity low · Outcome Grow revenue · Fix status Report only

More than 3 automation flows are built but never turned on. Each one represents planned revenue, welcome series, replenishment reminders, win-back campaigns, that is sitting unused; the work to build them already happened, so the only thing standing between the store and that revenue is publishing t
