Abandoned cart follow-up emails

Purpose

1. The automation of abandoned cart follow-up emails in the orchid growing business aims to recover potential lost sales by sending targeted, personalized reminders to customers who left items in their shopping carts without completing the purchase.

2. This automates post-cart-abandonment customer engagement, increases conversion rates, improves cart recovery, and drives revenue, all while reducing manual intervention for the horticultural e-commerce flow.

3. Automation enables segmentation based on customer behavior, individualized messaging with orchid care tips, and dynamic coupon codes to maximize recovery.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automate a trigger when a registered user adds products to the cart and fails to check out within a set duration (e.g., 1 hour, 24 hours).

2. Automator activates if email exists and customer has not opted out of communications.

3. Automation re-triggers on consecutive cart abandonments or with changes in cart contents, set by frequency cap settings.
