After accessing Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Create Workflow’ to start your automation. Name your workflow ‘How to Automate WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Emails Using AI Agent’ and select a folder to save it. Once named, click on the ‘Create’ button to enter the workflow window.

This window is crucial as it contains the trigger and action settings. The trigger indicates when the workflow starts, while actions define what happens next. Select WooCommerce as your trigger application by searching for it, then choose the trigger event as ‘New Cart Abandoned’.

• Click on ‘New Cart Abandoned’ to set it as your trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL to connect WooCommerce with Pabbly Connect.
• Log in to your WordPress admin panel to set up the connection.

After copying the webhook URL, follow the instructions to install the WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin. Once installed, refresh your WooCommerce page to access the settings.

3. Configuring WooCommerce for Abandoned Cart Recovery

To set up WooCommerce for abandoned cart recovery, navigate to the settings tab of the WooCommerce Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin. Enable tracking by checking the box and set the cart abandonment cutoff time to 10 minutes.

Next, locate the webhook settings within the plugin. Enable the webhook option to allow automatic triggering upon cart abandonment. Paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect into the designated field and save the changes.

• Check the box to allow triggering the webhook automatically.
• Click ‘Save Changes’ to finalize your settings.
• Test the connection by clicking on the ‘Trigger Sample’ button.

Once saved, you can test the setup by adding a product to your cart and leaving it abandoned to check if the automation works correctly.

4. Integrating AI Agent with Pabbly Connect

After successfully configuring WooCommerce, the next step is to integrate an AI agent using Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI as your action application and choose ‘ChatGPT’ as the action event. Click ‘Connect’ to establish a connection.

You will need to provide your OpenAI API key. To obtain this, visit the OpenAI API key page and create a new secret key. Copy this key and paste it into Pabbly Connect to connect your AI agent.

Click on ‘Create Secret Key’ in OpenAI. Name your key appropriately, such as ‘AI Agent’. Paste the key into the Pabbly Connect workflow.

After connecting, select the AI model as GPT-4 and enter a prompt for the email body. Use mapping to insert customer details dynamically, ensuring the email content is personalized based on their cart items.

5. Sending the Email via Gmail

The final step involves sending the generated email through Gmail using Pabbly Connect. Select Gmail as the action application and choose ‘Send Email v2’ for the action event. Click ‘Connect’ to establish the connection with your Gmail account.

Once connected, map the recipient’s email address from the WooCommerce response. Enter the sender’s name and email subject, using the dynamic content generated by your AI agent. For the email body, map the generated content from OpenAI.

Ensure all required fields are filled out correctly. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the email. Check your Gmail for the sent email confirmation.

With this, your automation is complete. Whenever a cart abandonment occurs, the AI agent will generate an email and send it automatically through Gmail, ensuring you recover potential sales without manual intervention.

Conclusion

By using Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly automate WooCommerce abandoned cart emails with an AI agent. This integration helps recover lost sales efficiently, enhancing customer engagement and retention.
