All,  
  
here is a use case for you:

- Imagine a wine shop.  
- We know the purchase ratio of red vs white wine (we’ll ignore varieties for simplicity) for their customers.  
  
  
  
  
  
We want to send a weekly email featuring products on special  
  
  
  
In the interests of relevancy we want to do the following:  
- Have a hero message featuring a great deal on a wine that falls into their predominant category (red or white)  
- have a product grid of say 9 products, that are displayed in the email in the ratio based on their purchases. I don’t mind determining these products externally.  
  
  
  
In the interests of automation we want to do the following:  
- Upload the hero offer as an asset (image and link)  
- Upload all potential products that appear in peoples product grids as assets (image and link)  
- Have the news letter execute either automatically once a week, or with a single button click.  
  
  
  
How on earth do I go about doing this. I’m either missing some obvious stuff, or this is harder than I thought.  
  
  
  
BTW - I’ve got many more real world type use cases. As I submit them and get answers, I will generate ‘how to’ type documentation for the community to leverage and improve upon.  
  
  
  
Cheers  
  
Jo
