Abandoned cart recovery on WhatsApp.
Someone leaves $120 in their cart. An hour later, if they still haven't bought, a WhatsApp message brings them back to checkout.
Cart left
Bought in the meantime?
Reminder skipped
Reminder sent
How it works
- 01 · When
Your store sends a checkout started event through Zapier
- 02 · Querygen
A journey waits an hour, then sends an approved template
- 03 · Then
The shopper taps back to their cart from WhatsApp
What your customer sees
A normal WhatsApp chat with your business. They never see the automation behind it.
1 hour after checkout started
Set it up
- 1
Connect your store
Through Zapier, your store sends Querygen a “checkout started” event and a “purchase” event.
- 2
Get a template approved
Write the reminder once, with a button that opens the checkout. Meta approves it once, and you reuse it for every cart.
- 3
Set the wait and the rule
The reminder starts on “checkout started”, waits an hour, and only goes out if no purchase came in.
- 4
Turn it on
Replies land in your inbox. A customer who replies or buys gets no more reminders.
Make it your own
Skip small carts
Only remind for carts above an amount you pick, using the cart value your store sends.
Add a second reminder
If there's still no order the next day, send one more message, with a small discount if you like.
Let the AI answer questions
When someone replies with a question, the AI agent answers from your catalogue so they can finish buying.
Questions
What if they buy while Querygen is waiting?+
No reminder goes out. Querygen checks for a purchase when the reminder is due, and skips anyone who has already bought or replied.
How does Querygen know a cart was left?+
Your store sends a checkout-started event through Zapier. Querygen records it on the customer's conversation, and a journey waits an hour before sending the reminder.
Why does the reminder need an approved template?+
WhatsApp only lets businesses message someone first with a template Meta has approved. You create it once in Querygen and reuse it for every cart.
Can I send more than one reminder?+
Yes. Add another wait and a second message to the journey, for example a reminder the next day with a small discount.
