Abandoned cart

I'm testing abandoned cart, but I'm not receiving the email. I've testet a simple contact form and this works fine, so sending mails from the website is no issue. 

It looks like my cart times out even if I keep browser open. I Management Center the expiration is set to 1 day.

Am I able use the default "Dynamicweb Send Provider" or am required to use SendGrid/Mandrill?

Any help appreciated.

Hi Filip.

You can uise the Dynamicweb send provider. Be aware that sending out using the email marketing uses the server drop folder and smtp service (using smarthosts) to send emails - where as forms probably uses the smtp from settings directly. So you need to make sure that your dropfolder is configured correctly.

I've added a new provider in: Management Center -> Marketing -> Email Marketing -> Delivery providers. I've set it to use "Dynamicweb Save Provider" and folder "/Filer/Cart".

Also, there are no timestamps at the e-mail (see attached screenshot). Off course this makes sense because I havn't received any mails, but if DW tried sending the mail with a SMTP failure, wouldn't a timestamp show up anyway?

The solution is installed on a custom server btw.

Hi Filip.

It is hard to tell - I cannot do much when you host your self. I can have our service desk help you out debugging the setup if you provide us with an access. But that would be by the hour.

Hi,

I guess that you need to change your recipient settings to a shorter time for test purposes. Check attached screenshot where I have changed mine to test an abandoned email.

I hope that you'll recieve the emails with the same setup.

Remember to change back to a longer time period in order not to spam your customers :)

Kind regards,
Merethe
