Step 5: Specify your audience

We’re almost there! It’s time to set up the conditions that will trigger your webhooks. This means that the workflow will be triggered by an abandoned cart that meets the specific conditions that you set in this step. You can choose one of the template conditions or create your own by clicking + Add a condition.

Adding specific conditions will help you target a specific audience and personalize your message for them. This will facilitate a higher conversion rate and a higher value of recovered carts.

Step 6: Customize your message

This step allows you to customize the message that will be sent to your customers, which is crucial for recovering your abandoned carts—the pre-filled message will give you a nice head start.

You’ll notice that the cart recovery link has been automatically added to your message. If you want to offer a discount, simply turn on the option on the right side of your screen—the discount code will be automatically incorporated in the cart recovery link, just make sure your discount matches the one set up on your Shopify platform.

Keep your message short and snappy—if you choose SMS as the channel for your message, consider that it has a 160 character limit.

Ready? Tap Done to preview your message.

Step 7: Test the solution

You can test your abandoned cart message and save it as a draft to edit it later. Once you click save and launch, your cart abandonment message will be sent as soon as the webhooks are triggered.
