How this automation works

Record purchase activity in Customer.io when Square processes a new order. It runs whenever Square registers a new order and sends a track event to Customer.io with key order details like total, status, location, and customer ID. This helps you trigger post-purchase journeys, segment buyers, or start automations in Customer.io based on Square sales.
