Frequently asked questions
Can I include the line items, not just the total?
Yes — expand the `Set` node in Step 2 to loop `{{ $json.line_items }}` into a bullet list before it's sent to WhatsApp.
Does this slow down checkout?
No. Etsy fires the event after the order is already placed, so the automation runs entirely in the background.
