# How to Increase Retention with Personalized Shipping Confirmation Emails

# Introduction

As time progresses, personalization is becoming the key to all communications. Marketers want to leave a hook for the user’s next purchase.

For example, when an order is placed and confirmed, a marketer would want to send order confirmation emails and a list of trending items/recommended items so customers can browse the products.

In this article, we will create a recommendation and a personalized shipping campaign to nudge or entice users to watch or browse more products in the App.

# Expected Result

These campaigns essentially have two outcomes:

* Order confirmation
* Personalised recommendations to browse products further

# Create an S2S Event

This event should ideally be triggered by shipping partners such as Shiprocket, Delhivery indicating the product has been shipped. They would use Event API, where the payload attributes can contain:

* Order ID
* Order Value

# Create a Recommendation

In this section, let us create a recommendation based on the user's actions. Here, we would need a product catalog and two product sets.

1. Navigate to the MoEngage Dashboard and select **Content** > **Recommendations** from the left navigation. The Recommendations page is displayed. For more information, refer to [Creating User Action Recommendations](/user-guide/content/recommendations/basic-recommendations/user-actions-model).
2. At the top right corner, click **+ Create recommendation**. This will take you to the first step, "Select recommendation model."

3. Select the **Recommended items** model and click **Next**. It takes you to the second step "Create recommendation". Enter the following details:
   1. **Recommendation name**: Enter a name for the recommendation.
   2. **Recommendation description**: Enter a description for the recommendation. This description will help you understand the model's aim.
   3. **Catalog**: Select the catalog on which the recommendation will be worked.

4. Click **Create** to save the changes and run the model. Its status will be Active on the Recommendations home page.

Now that we have created the recommendation, let us create and personalize a Push campaign.

# Create an Email Campaign
