## The prompt

```text
Find my 20 customers who spent the most in the last 12 months and placed at least 3 orders. Check AffiliateWP and remove anyone who is already an affiliate. Show me the rest with total spent, order count and last order date. Write a short, friendly email I can send to invite them to join my affiliate program. When I tell you who said yes, add each one as an active affiliate with my default rate and send the AffiliateWP welcome email.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Find my 20 customers who spent the most in the last 12 months and placed at least 3 orders…

Assistant: 18 customers spent over $600 across 3 or more orders in the last 12 months. 3 are already affiliates, so 15 are left. Mia Chen leads with $2,140 over 9 orders. Calling: `storeagent/find-customers`, `affiliatewp/list-affiliates`, `affiliatewp/add-affiliate`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: Here is a 4-sentence invite you can send. Mia, Tom and Lena said yes, so they are now active affiliates and each got the welcome email with their referral link.
