What a real run looks like
Recovery email drafted in Gmail for the Weekend Duffel cart.
Shopify cart abandoned 5h ago by Kai. Items: 1× Weekend Duffel (Sand), 1× Packing Cube Set. Total $128. Warm tone, discount code SAVE10 available.

To: kai@example.com Subject: The Weekend Duffel — still here if you want it Hi Kai, Saw you were checking out the Weekend Duffel earlier. It's still in your cart if you'd like to come back to it — no rush. One heads-up: sand goes in and out of stock quickly in September. If you want to lock it in, SAVE10 knocks 10% off at checkout. Best, Northbeam Bags

Under the hood — the exact prompt Claude sees
Draft a cart-recovery email from {{store_name}} to {{customer_name}}. Reply with JSON only: {"subject": string, "body": string, "reasoning": string}. Rules: (1) name the top item by title, not SKU; (2) tone: {{tone}}; (3) mention discount_code={{discount_code}} only if it is non-empty and only in the last sentence; (4) no urgency copy like 'don't miss out'. Cart total: {{cart_total}}. Items: {{cart_items}}

Frequently askedQuestions about Abandoned Cart Recovery+
How long does it take to set up Abandoned Cart Recovery?+

About 60 seconds. Connect Shopify, fill in the plain-English fields the template asks for, and hit Activate. Pilotran runs the workflow once against sample data so you can see what Claude does before it touches your real accounts.

Can I edit Abandoned Cart Recovery after activating it?+

Yes — pause, edit the prompt, tweak the fields, or delete the workflow at any time from your Workflows page. Paused workflows keep their run history and can be resumed later.

Which AI model runs my workflow?+

Every workflow uses Anthropic's Claude by default. On any paid plan you can add your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key and pay providers directly for unlimited runs — Pilotran only meters when it's on our shared credits.

Does Pilotran train AI models on my data?+

No. Your workflow data is only used to execute the workflows you activated. We do not train models on your data or share it with third parties.

What happens if a run fails?+

Pilotran's Failure Doctor auto-explains what broke (bad credentials, invalid input, provider rate limit, etc.) and suggests a fix. Failed runs don't disappear — you can retry any run from the Runs page.
