Email customers with abandoned baskets using saved templates
Email customers with abandoned baskets using saved templates
I had this feature in 5.5 with some custom code Judy had written.
I could view the abandoned baskets and put a check in the checkbox next to the ones we wanted to send emails to. Then, we could assign a pre-made template and email them a coupon code. This worked quite well! We got a lot of customers to return just by offering them an additional 5% or 10% off.
My templates even imported with the dataport utility. I just need the feature again.

Web2Market has asked me to put together a list of add-ins to develop, like they did the ones for ColdFusion. This is one of them, so hopefully we'll have it out fairly soon.

Re: Email customers with abandoned baskets using saved templates
I have someone doing this by hand right now. I would love some automation here!
Re: Email customers with abandoned baskets using saved templates
I think you can send the Email alerts to those customers who are already registered and have abandoned baskets. In this case you have their valid Email address to which you can send an Email. You can customize the abandoned baskets report to incorporate an other button field and available to those baskets owned by registered users. Once the button is available then you can put some custom code to load that basket. Then you can get the associated user from the loaded basket. Once you have the both you can create custom parameters for Email template and send Email template as suggested in below threads

Re: Email customers with abandoned baskets using saved templates
Tried this but havent had much luck. So far ive added a link button on each row, and set it up like this:
I have gotten hung up there though as I cant seem to get data from it.
Code: Select all
<asp:LinkButton ID="EmailLink" runat="server" Text='AB Email' SkinID="Button"
OnCommand="EmailButtonClick" CommandArgument='<%# GetUserIdString((int)Eval("BasketId")) %>'
EnableViewState="false"></asp:LinkButton>
Code: Select all
public void EmailButtonClick(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
SendEmail((String)e.CommandArgument);
}
Code: Select all
private string GetUserIdString(int basketId)
{
Basket basket = BasketDataSource.Load(basketId);
if (basket != null)
{
User _user= UserDataSource.Load((basket.UserId));
return _user.Email;
}
return "";
}
Re: Email customers with abandoned baskets using saved templates
I tried this code and it seems that problem is here
Enable the view state and try the code
Code: Select all
<asp:LinkButton ID="EmailLink" runat="server" Text='AB Email' SkinID="Button"
OnCommand="EmailButtonClick" CommandArgument='<%# GetUserIdString((int)Eval("BasketId")) %>'
EnableViewState="false"></asp:LinkButton>
