Custom Events are actions taken by your customers. Logging a custom event can trigger coupon distribution, and enables customer segmentation filters around the recency and frequency of that event. Note that custom events are controlled by your system. After they take place, your system sends the trigger to Voucherify, but Voucherify does not check whether the event took place.
Track event
In order to create a new event, go to Project Settings – Event Schema and click Add Event Definition.
Name your event cart_abandoned and proceed to enable its tracking on your website/app.
Create a customer segment
Go to the Customers tab and create a new segment.
The segment is for customers who abandoned the cart. It is also an auto-update segment which means that new customers will be added to this segment each time they perform the action specified in the custom event cart_abandoned.
Click Add and Save to confirm the segment.
Launch a coupon campaign
Go to the Campaigns tab and create a new Bulk Codes Campaign.
We highly recommend selecting Auto-Update mode which will tell Voucherify to generate new vouchers if you run out of the original vouchers.
Decide on the timeframe of your campaign – start and end date, validity timeframe, and validity counter to increase the urgency of the offer.
The vouchers are going to be a 5% discount.
Build validation rules
In the next step, establish validation rules. Only customers from the "Cart abandoned" segment will be eligible for the discount. Moreover, to protect the promo budget, set up a redemption limit to be once per customer.
Send codes to customers
Save the Campaign and move on to the Distribution. Create a new distribution.
Select Auto Messages to send a coupon each time a new customer joins the "Cart abandoned" segment, i.e. leaves your store without completing the purchase.
Next, select the purpose of your distribution – sending unique codes from Cart abandoned campaign.
The message send-out is going to be triggered by a new customer entering the "Cart abandoned" segment. Note that if you haven't created a proper segment up until now, Voucherify gives you a possibility to create a new segment on the spot.
Remember that you can also divide your audience on the basis of marketing permissions.
Next title and design your email message.
Thanks to the Distribution mechanism or Publish API, one discount code will be assigned to only one customer profile.
Now each time a customer leaves a cart without completing the purchase, he/she will be automatically assigned to the "Cart abandoned" segment and sent an email message with a unique, one-time 5% discount code.
