How do I send Abandoned Cart Recovery emails?

Abandoned Cart Recovery workflow is one of the key features of Icegram Express plugin. With this, you can set reminder emails for the customers who add products to their cart but leave without completing the order. This feature is available for both logged-in users as well as guest (not logged-in) users and it can help you in increasing sales by completing those orders.

When is a cart considered ‘abandoned’?​

Carts will be considered abandoned if they are inactive for 10 minutes either by logged-in or guest users.

  • For logged-in users, it works when the user adds the product in the cart and leave it as it is.

  • For guest users, it works after the customer has entered their email on the billing details of the checkout page but haven’t completed the payment.

Steps for creating the workflow​

Action – Send Email

  1. On the right side there is a list of placeholders/keywords that can be used in the email subject and content to personalize the email. They are replaced with real customer data while sending out emails. When you click on a particular placeholder, a popup will appear where you can set a fallback text (alternative text when the actual data is not available) and then copy and paste it where you want to use it. You can do it for all the placeholders that you want to use in the email.
