Description

Someone browses your site, looks at a product, and leaves. It happens hundreds of times a day. Most brands do nothing about it. This one does. One hour after a product view, the automation picks the right channel (email first, then WhatsApp or web push if email is not available) and sends a message that actually fits: a live promotion banner, AI-picked product suggestions, the right timing. Three days later, if nothing has happened, it tries once more. Every message is capped and channel-matched. Nothing goes out to someone who already bought. Nothing repeats to someone who already received it. The result is a quiet, persistent recovery flow that brings back revenue you would otherwise never see.

How it works in practice

A contact views a product and moves on without buying. An hour later, the system quietly checks: have they bought recently? Are they already in the email send window? If not, it picks the right channel and sends. Email goes out first with the current promo banner and a few AI-recommended products that match what they were browsing. Three days of silence later, if the cart is still empty, a second nudge goes out: WhatsApp if they have consented, web push if not. Two touchpoints, no repetition, no manual effort. And when marketing updates the promo banner once, it updates automatically across every email in the flow.

1

Product view trigger and initial delay: When a contact views a product from the Products With Assets segment, the automation waits one hour to allow natural browsing without interruption.

2

Eligibility and send frequency check: The system checks whether the contact is already in the Capping email segment. If not, it verifies that the contact did not add the product to their cart and did not make a purchase in the last 14 days.

3

Primary outreach via email or alternative channels: If Consent email is TRUE, the system sends a personalized email containing the current promotion banner pulled from global variables and AI-powered product recommendations. It creates the Capping email event and adds the contact to the Capping email segment. If email consent is not available, the automation checks WhatsApp consent first, then web push subscription as a fallback.

4

Waiting period and purchase verification: After a three-day delay, the system checks whether the contact has completed a purchase. Only contacts who remain inactive without any purchase qualify for the second reactivation touchpoint.

5

Secondary reactivation attempt: If WhatsApp consent is TRUE, the contact receives a WhatsApp follow-up. If not, and the contact has a valid web push subscription, a web push notification is sent instead, ensuring every eligible contact receives at least one second reminder.
