Step by step guide

1. Create a WhatsApp template in Superchat that you want to send when a customer abandons their cart. It is important to include a wild card variable where the link, which will redirect the customer back to their cart, can be inserted via Zapier.
   ​

   

   
   ​

2. Create a new Zap and choose New Abandoned Cart in Shopify as the event.
   ​

   

   
   ​

3. Find a Contact in Superchat is the second step of the Zap.
   ​

   

    

   1. Under Field choose Phone number.

   2. Use the Customer Phone from step 1 as the value.

   3. Choose Yes in the field "Should this step be considered a "success" when nothing is found.
      ​

4. Create 2 paths.
   ​

   1. The left one should only continue if 2. Zap search was found status = (Boolean) is true (Contact already exists in Superchat).
      ​

      

       

   2. The other one should only continue if 2. Zap search was found status = (Boolean) is false (Contact does not yet exist in Superchat).
      ​

      

      
      ​

5. Choose Update Contact in Superchat in the left path. This path is executed if the contact already exists in Superchat and overwrites the name..
   ​

   ​

   1. As Contact ID choose the ID from step 2 Find a Contact in Superchat.
      ​

   2. As First Name choose the first name from Step 1 - Shopify.
      ​

   3. As Last Name choose the last name from Step 1 - Shopify.
      ​

6. Next, select Create Contact in Superchat in the right path. This path is executed if the contact does not yet exist in Superchat. The contact will be newly created.
   ​

   

    

   1. As First Name choose the first name from step 1 - Shopify.
      ​

   2. As Last Name choose the last name from step 1 - Shopify.
      ​

   3. As Phone number choose the customer phone number from step 1 - Shopify.
      ​

7. In the left path, choose Send WhatsApp Template in Superchat.

      ​

   2. In the From field choose the name of your WhatsApp business account.
      ​

      ​

   4. As First Name, choose the first name from step 1 - Shopify.
      ​

      ​
      ​

8. In the right path, choose Send WhatsApp Template in Superchat.
