WooCommerce - Abandoned Cart
WooCommerce - Abandoned Cart runs when a shopper leaves a checkout in your connected WooCommerce store without completing it. Use it to send a WhatsApp reminder.
You create and edit WooCommerce rules from Integrations > WooCommerce, and they are listed there rather than on the Automations page. Connect your store first: see WooCommerce.

Actions
Click Add Action and choose from Select Action. Actions run in order; use the arrows to reorder them. To delay an action, click Add wait time (or Add wait & Schedule time on template and email actions). Wait times count from the trigger event, not from the previous action.
Every action on this trigger can wait minutes to months.

| Add the Contact to Group | Adds the contact to a contact group, which you can check in later conditions. |

Example
Recover carts after one hour
- Go to Integrations > WooCommerce and add a rule with the WooCommerce - Abandoned Cart trigger.
- Add the condition Total Amount greater than 20.
- Add the action Send a WhatsApp Template Message with your cart reminder template and a wait time of 1 hour(s).
Good to know
- Besides WhatsApp templates and email, client rules can reach the client on Telegram (Send Telegram Text Message, Send Telegram Template Message, Send Telegram Media, Send Telegram Audio) and by SMS (Send SMS). Telegram goes to the chat linked to the client, or the chat whose shared phone number is the client's; SMS goes through your own SMS provider to the client's phone number. When there is no chat, no provider, no phone number or the number replied STOP, the action is skipped and the log says "Skipped:". Use Client Receives Updates On to send each client the update on the channel they chose: one rule per channel, each with its own condition (Not set matches clients who made no choice).
