* In the email builder, there are templates made out that will automatically fill in the customer’s product information and total cost spent
* _You can edit/build the template as well as build out the workflow so that anytime an order is placed that email will be sent out_
* **For Example:** _you can create the template as a receipt; so when the customer purchases they receive order confirmation, total price, item purchased, etc_
