Abandoned cart automation workflow

By setting up an abandoned cart workflow, you can send reminders to your clients whose purchase process at your e-commerce store has been left unfinished for some reason. These reminders are sent only to registered customers who have logged on to their account while shopping, but left their products before checking out.

Go to the templates tab and click “New template”. Choose a suitable template for your abandoned cart email or create one.

The abandoned cart email template created by Smaily is ready-to-use, you can change the colors and content according to your liking.

Parameters used in the abandoned cart workflow:

• First name of the customer: {{first_name}}
• Last name of the customer: {{last_name}}
• Name of the product: {{product_name_[1-10]}}
• Product description: {{product_description_[1-10]}}
• SKU of the product: {{product_sku_[1-10]}}
• Product amount: {{product_quantity_[1-10]}}
• Price of the product: {{product_price_[1-10]}}
• Base price of the product : {{product_base_price_[1-10]}}

If there are more than 10 products in the abandoned cart, the following parameter can be added:

• Over 10 products: {{over_10_products}}.

(Used for Magento 2, Prestashop, WooCommerce and OpenCart integrations)

You can add filters or more actions to your workflow. Read more about the actions and filters from our tutorial about automation workflows.

When you are done creating the workflow, click “Save automation” in the upper right corner. The workflow will be saved but it won’t start immediately. To start the automation, click “Start” next to the suitable workflow in the automations tab.

Once the automation is started, you can choose the abandoned cart automation workflow in the Smaily plugin added to your e-commerce store and activate the functions.
