Conduct an A/B Test with Automation Flows

Who gets this? Shops on all Postscript plans have access to this feature. Learn more about Postscript Plans.

A/B testing is a marketing experiment wherein shops can split their audience to test variations of creatives, incentives, or copy to determine which experience performs best.

In this article, we discuss how to conduct an A/B test in automation flows!

How A/B Testing Benefits You


  • Have more control over how the split is distributed between several different messages, delays, trigger splits, and more.
  • View overall flow performance and individual message performance once the automation is activated so you can make informed decisions on future messaging strategies.
  • Validate which characteristics of the winning branch increase conversions, then implement those characteristics to effectively grow your revenue.
