Abandoned booking/cart email workflows

Purpose

1. Automate reminder and recovery messaging for users who begin but do not complete a booking or ticket purchase for BMX park activities.

2. Maximize conversion rates by automating follow-up sequences that guide customers back to their abandoned cart or booking form.

3. Segment communications based on items/services left in the cart, user profiles, and their stage in the booking funnel.

4. Automate personalized incentives (discounts, reminders, FAQs) to recover lost revenue and improve marketing ROI.

5. Reduce manual tracking while providing a seamless, branded guest experience through automated communications across email, SMS, and in-app messaging.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated detection of form abandonment after the user enters contact details but exits before checkout.

2. Triggers when the payment page is loaded but order is not finalized within a set time (e.g., 30–60min).

3. Automated at set times after abandonment (e.g., 1hr, 24hrs, 3 days) if booking remains incomplete.

4. Opt-in consent confirmation for receiving marketing or reminder messages.
