Some key details to note about the Abandoned Cart Recovery Automation:

  • The Abandoned Cart Recovery Automation is prebuilt in your Marsello app admin.

  • This prebuilt automation adheres to the following procedure

    • The automation is triggered by a customer leaving the website without finalizing their purchase

    • The first email is sent 1 hour after the customer abandons their cart, prompting the customer to return and complete their order

    • If the first email does not result in a purchase, a second email is sent after an 18-hour delay and then a third email 24 hours after that

    • When the automation is finished, the customer will not receive any more emails. (This automation will also be marked as complete if a customer responds to an email and completes their purchase.)

  • The Abandoned cart recovery automation is fully customizable to suit your brand's needs. You can add/remove emails in the automation and even update the discount settings
