Recover Abandoned BigCommerce Carts With an Automated WhatsApp Nudge

When a BigCommerce shopper leaves items behind, this waits, checks they haven't purchased, and sends a friendly WhatsApp reminder — reclaiming revenue that would otherwise vanish.

  1. 1

    Step 1 — Detect the abandonment

    Add the BigCommerce trigger for Checkout Created/Cart Abandoned. Capture the customer contact, the cart contents and the recovery URL.

  2. 2

    Step 2 — Wait a respectful hour

    Add a Wait node set to 1 hour. Long enough that you're not nagging, short enough that intent is still warm.

  3. 3

    Step 3 — Check they didn't already buy

    Add a BigCommerce node to look up the order by email, then an If node: only continue if no completed order exists. This prevents reminding people who already paid.

  4. 4

    Step 4 — Send the WhatsApp reminder

    Add a Twilio node. Set Operation to Send and use a WhatsApp-enabled Twilio number as the From. Build the message from a short message plus the {{ $json.recovery_url }}. Add your Twilio SID + auth token.

Frequently asked questions

Won't this annoy customers?

One reminder after a one-hour wait, and only if they haven't purchased, is standard e-commerce practice. Keep it to a single message and include an easy way to finish checkout.

Can I add a discount code?

Yes — generate or reference a code in Step 4's message. Many stores see the best recovery with a small, time-limited incentive.
