Dynamic Email Rules in Cart Abandonment Recovery

Dynamic Email Rules is a powerful feature in WooCommerce Cart Abandonment Recovery Pro that allows you to apply conditional logic to your abandoned cart email templates. This ensures that emails are only sent when specific cart, customer, or product criteria are met, resulting in more personalized and effective recovery campaigns.

By using Dynamic Rules, you can automatically control email delivery and target customers with the right messages at the right time.

How It Works

  • Rule Engine: Evaluates conditions before sending each email.
  • Conditional Logic: Supports AND/OR logic for flexible targeting.
  • Real-time Evaluation: Conditions are checked at the time of sending.
  • Email Blocking: Prevents irrelevant emails from being delivered.

Where to Find This Setting

1: Go to WordPress Admin > WooCommerce > Cart Abandonment Recovery.

2: Navigate to the Follow-up Emails tab.

3: Click Add New Template or edit an existing template.

4: Scroll down to the Dynamic Conditions section.

Step 4: Add Individual Rules
Each rule requires:

  • Billing Country: The customer’s billing country.

Step 6: Choose Operators

  • Numeric Operators: For numbers like cart total or item count. Examples: is equal to, is not equal to, greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to.
  • Text Operators: For values like product names and categories. Examples: Exists, does not exists.
  • List Operators: For conditions with multiple options (like categories or countries). Examples: Equal to, not equal to.

Step 7: Configure Values

  • Enter numbers for conditions like cart total or number of items.
  • Use the product search field to select specific products.
  • Select countries or Product Categories from dropdown menus.

Step 8: Save & Test

  • Review rules.
  • Test with sample data.
  • Save and activate your template.

Example Rule Configurations

  • High-Value Cart: Cart Total greater than $100 → Email only for high-value carts.
  • Product Category Targeting: Product Category contains “Electronics” → Target electronics abandonments.
  • Geographic Targeting: Country is equal to “US” → Target US customers.
  • Complex Rule: Cart Total greater than $50 AND Category contains “Clothing” AND Items greater than 2 → Target clothing carts over $50 with 2+ items.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure Dynamic Conditions is enabled.
  • Verify your rules match actual cart/customer data.
  • Ensure the email template is active.

Dynamic Email Rules in Cart Abandonment Recovery Pro give you complete control over when and to whom your recovery emails are sent. By setting precise conditions, you can build highly targeted campaigns that improve conversions, reduce wasted emails, and deliver a better customer experience.
