Engage better with your buyers with essential WooCommerce automations like welcome emails, abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase email sequences, customer win-back campaigns, and much more.
You can create beautiful emails with a drag-and-drop builder and interact with your leads via newsletter campaigns.
Now, you no longer need to have ten different plugins to do eCommerce marketing.
FunnelKit Automations Lite (Free) Version
FunnelKit Automations comes in two versions – Lite (Free) and Pro.
The Lite version comes equipped with crucial pre-built automations that give you a headstart in your WooCommerce marketing automation journey, and you can build on it as your business grows.
Create Automated Campaigns on the All-New Canvas Interface
FunnelKit Automations is powered by the robust automation builder and the minimalist Canvas interface.
A clean interface that allows you to visualize your workflow as you build it. It simplifies the automation-building process and view in-line analytics such as email open/click-through rates and more on the interface itself.
In the Pro version, you can even view individual contact’s journey and in-depth analytics.
Visualize and create powerful workflows precisely the way you want.
View Abandoned Users and Other Cart-Related Details at One Place
Abandoned cart users are crucial to your profits. These are the users who had almost completed their purchases but got distracted and left.
If targeted properly, these users are very likely to come back and complete their purchases.
FunnelKit Automations gives you cart-related information such as – recoverable, recovered, and lost carts. This information can be crucial to understanding your users and be the building blocks for your WooCommerce abandoned cart recovery campaign.
Get One-Click Import Recipes
FunnelKit Automations Lite comes with crucial pre-built marketing campaigns that you can import with one click, customize the email copy and delay time, and go live in a matter of minutes.
You get automations such as – abandoned cart recovery, welcome email sequence for new customers, review collection emails, and a first purchase anniversary campaign.
There are various other WooCommerce events that you can try out and create your custom WooCommerce marketing automations from scratch. With Autonami Lite, the following WooCommerce events are available at your disposal:
- Cart Abandoned
- Cart Recovered
- Order Created
- Order Created – Per Product
- Order Status Changed
- Order Item Refunded
- Order Item Stock Reduced
- Order Note Added
- Review Received
If there are other users you’ve given permission to access your store, then you can track their activity with WordPress events such as User Created and User Login.
Send Simple Text-Based Emails
FunnelKit Automations Lite comes with a text-based email builder that allows you to create and send text emails with ease.
Do not underestimate the power of simple text emails. In some automated campaigns, simple text emails have performed better than visual ones.
Personalize your emails with merge tags, add a catchy subject line, and a persuasive preview text. FunnelKit Automations is GDPR compliant; hence, the ‘unsubscribe text’ comes pre-inserted.
Time Your Emails Right with Delays
FunnelKit Automations allows you to add delays to your email sequence and communicate with your customers on the right time.
You can set delays in minutes, hours, days, weeks, and even months to better optimize your automated campaigns.
My respect and appreciation for the FunnelKit Automations Team continue to grow as we migrate from a major ESP into FunnelKit.
FunnelKit Automations is powerful and intuitive—and the support we receive (when needed) continually exceeds our expectations.
What a delight it is to work with folks who care so deeply about the customers they serve and the products they build!
