How to recover an abandoned shopping cart by creating an automation on WhatsApp

In questo articolo vedremo come creare un’automazione vincente per recuperare i carrelli abbandonati tramite un messaggio su WhatsApp

Ipotizziamo di utilizzare come CMS WooCommerce, possiamo scegliere di impostare l’automazione di recupero carrello in tre modi:

Direct integration with Spoki and WooCommerce.

This is the simplest and most direct solution to send a cart retrieval message, automatically to the customer.

To enable this functionality, you must first enable integration on the Spoki platform and download the Spoki plugin to WooCommerce.

NB: In order for Spoki to send the cart retrieval message, it is necessary for the customer to leave the phone number, so we recommend that the phone number is required in a mandatory form during registration.

Enabling WooCommerce integration.

As a first step we are going to enable WooCommerce integration in the platform. In the integrations section, we will click on WooCommerce. An additional screen will develop on the left. We will select the states to be communicated to the client, and then we will enable automation by clicking on “enable.”

Activate and customize the desired automations.

Based on the states we selected in the previous step, the platform will automatically generate automations with startup steps and sample template message. The preset template contains 3 dynamic fields which are: name, checkout link and support link.

We can edit the template text (by requesting a new one in the template section – the dynamic fields contained in the sample template can be carried over in their entirety or be reduced, but it will not be possible to add others). It is also possible to add an identification tag within the automation.

We can, in addition, modify the message to be sent by replacing the existing template with a new one.

Once the message entered in the automation is the desired one, we need to enable the automations by clicking on “enable.”

 

2) WooCommerce and Spoki integration via Zapier.

This automation proves particularly useful if we need to differentiate or add tasks than just sending the abandoned cart retrieval WhatsApp message.

In this case we will create a new Zap, setting “Order WooCommerce” as the trigger and set the step.

Next we insert a delay after which we expect the cart recovery message to be sent.

We add another “Finder WooCommerce” step and set the fields we are interested in monitoring paying attention mainly to the Status. The status we will consider will be Pending or Failed.

Let’s add an additional step, a filter that will trigger for Pending or Failed status. Finally, we add the Spoki step by configuring it with the automation we intend to initiate.

Subsequent to sending the message with Spoki, we can add other steps such as sending the data to a Google Sheets or CRM.

 

3. Using the Automations provided on ActiveCampaign.

For those using marketing automation tools such as Active Campaign, they can use cart retrieval automations already structured by the tool and add within the automation a step (via webhook or CX App) that sends a WhatsApp message via Spoki.

In this case, the first step is to integrate WooCommerce with the platform by going to the “settings” -> “Connected integrations” section.

Once connected, we can customize the cart retrieval automation and insert as a Start step the trigger that identifies the abandoned cart.

Next, at a specific point in the funnel, we can insert a Webhook or App CX step that involves sending a WhatsApp message.
