Add a Free Product to First-Time Recharge Subscription Orders

This step automatically detects when any new order is created in your Recharge subscription system. The trigger captures all order details including customer information, products ordered, and order timing. No configuration is needed as it monitors your entire Recharge account for new orders. Once triggered, it passes the complete order data to the filtering step to determine if this is the customer's first subscription order.

This step examines the customer's order history to determine how many previous subscription orders they've placed. You'll configure the "How many orders are needed in the customer's subscription in order to receive a free product?" field, with the default set to 1 (meaning their first order). The filter uses the order ID from the trigger to look up the customer's subscription history. If the customer meets the order count criteria, the workflow continues to add the free product; otherwise, it stops here.

This step adds a specific product variant to the customer's order as a free item. You'll need to configure the "What is the free product that will be added to the order?" field with your product ID and the "What is the variant of the free product?" field with the specific variant ID. The system automatically applies a 100% discount to make the item free, sets the quantity to 1, and processes it without sending additional notifications to the customer. The order continues through your normal fulfillment process with the free item included.
