Explore visual automations Tip of the week Sell more with an abandoned cart automation Sometimes a person checks out your product or service and doesn’t buy. That doesn’t mean they’ll never buy. They may have made a mental note to consider it, and then life got in the way. Use a follow-up email sequence to nudge people to complete their purchase. Here's how you can set up your own abandoned cart automation: When you mention your course, program, or product in an email, add a link trigger to tag anyone who clicks as “interested” in the product. Create a Visual Automation that starts when that "interested" tag is applied to a subscriber. Have your automation delay a few days, and then check if the person has purchased the offer. If they haven’t, the automation sends your abandoned cart follow-up Sequence. Bonus tip: Sweeten the deal in your abandoned cart email to include a special discount on your product.
