After creating the automation, click Add step 1. You can choose from:
- Blank email: create a completely new email without email blocks.
- Choose template: copy an existing template from Templates in the left menu.
- Choose draft: move an email from your drafts to this automation.
Then add the Shopping cart of contact block: click the plus icon in the email and select this block (only visible with a connected webshop). The block automatically displays the abandoned items and a button that takes the customer back to your webshop; for WooCommerce and Lightspeed, the shopping cart is also restored.
Commonly used structure:
| Step | Timing | Content |
|---|
| Email 1 | No delay (sent with the next daily execution) | Reminder + abandoned items + checkout button |
| Email 2 | After 1 day | Soft incentive (e.g. 10% off or free shipping) + checkout button |
| Email 3 | After 2-3 days | Last chance / low stock / offer ending |
Use the plus and minus icons between the steps to set the delay in days; for each step you also set the send time.
