Abandoned cart recovered with a personalised coupon

When a shopper abandons their cart, the agent retrieves their customer record, mints a personalised discount coupon scaled to the cart value, logs the abandonment event to HubSpot, and enrols the shopper in a 3-step email recovery sequence — all within about a minute of the cart being abandoned. Recovery runs without any manual intervention from the marketing team.

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    40 min / week
    Manual order-to-CRM data entry

    Agent syncs orders to CRM and flags high-value buyers instantly

  • Marketing
    60 min / week
    Manual abandoned cart follow-up

    The marketing team exports the abandoned cart list, creates discount codes by hand in Ecwid, pastes them into individual emails, and manually schedules the sends — an hour of work per recovery batch.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent runs abandoned cart recovery with personalised coupons

    Within about a minute of a cart being abandoned, the agent mints a personalised coupon and enrols the shopper in a recovery sequence — no manual coupon creation or email scheduling required.

  • Customer Support
    50 min / week
    Manual order lookup per ticket

    Support agents switch to the Ecwid admin panel to search for the customer, find their orders, and copy the relevant details into the ticket or their notes before replying — 5 minutes per ticket with an order query.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent enriches tickets with full order and customer context

    When a support ticket arrives, the agent looks up the customer's order history and spend in Ecwid and surfaces it in the ticket before the first reply — no manual lookups before responding.

  • Human Resources
    30 min / week
    Manual fulfilment capacity planning

    HR manually pulls the week's order volume from Ecwid, compares it against the staffing rota, and decides whether to request additional shifts — a planning exercise that gets skipped when things are busy.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent models fulfilment demand and flags staffing gaps weekly

    The HR agent compares Ecwid order volume against fulfilment capacity every Monday and raises a staffing recommendation task if volume exceeds the target — giving HR a week's lead time before the crunch.

  • Finance
    120 min / week
    Manual weekly revenue reconciliation

    Finance exports order data from Ecwid, cross-references it against the payment gateway settlement report, and manually enters the reconciled figures into the tracking spreadsheet — 2 hours every Monday morning.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent reconciles revenue and writes it to the tracking sheet weekly

    Every Monday the finance agent retrieves all paid orders, calculates gross revenue by payment method, and writes the figures to the tracking sheet — flagging any gap between Ecwid and the payment gateway automatically.

  • Operations
    90 min / week
    Manual catalogue and dispatch management

    Operations manually checks stock levels, reviews the dispatch queue for overdue orders, and updates the status of out-of-stock listings — a daily admin burden spread across the warehouse and ops teams.

    Operations Agent
    0 min

  • Legal
    45 min / week
    Manual compliance review of orders and products

    Legal manually exports the week's orders, filters for high-value transactions and restricted categories, and reviews new catalogue additions for compliance gaps — a multi-hour process that often runs behind the fulfilment cycle.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent screens new orders and products for compliance flags weekly

    The legal agent checks high-value orders and new catalogue additions against the restricted product and jurisdiction lists every week — flagging issues before fulfilment begins rather than after a complaint arrives.

FAQs

Questions about Ecwid by Lightspeed + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Ecwid by Lightspeed?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find Ecwid by Lightspeed, and click Connect. The recommended path is OAuth — Actionist opens an Ecwid authorisation window where you sign in and grant the agent permission to read and write your store data. Ecwid issues an OAuth 2.0 access token scoped to your store, and the agent gains access to orders, customers, products, and discount coupons. If you prefer a token directly, you can generate a private access token from your Ecwid Control Panel → Apps → My Custom App.
What permissions does the agent need on my Ecwid store?
For read operations (Find Customer, Find Order, Find Product) the agent needs at least read_store_profile and read_orders, read_customers, or read_catalog scope depending on the resource. For write operations (Create Order, Create Product, Update Product, Create Discount Coupon, Upload Main Image) it needs the corresponding write scope. The OAuth flow requests all required scopes together so the agent can handle both read and write tasks from a single connection. If you use a private token for your own store, it inherits all permissions automatically.
Can I connect Ecwid to other apps in the same workflow?
Yes. Ecwid by Lightspeed is most powerful when connected to the rest of your stack. Common combinations include: creating orders in Ecwid when deals close in your CRM; syncing new customers to Mailchimp or Brevo for email sequences; pushing new product data to Google Sheets for inventory tracking; triggering a Slack alert when an abandoned cart is detected; and creating discount coupons automatically when a support ticket resolves. Any of Actionist's connected apps can send or receive data alongside Ecwid in the same agent workflow.
What are the most common things agents do with Ecwid by Lightspeed?
The four patterns that come up most: (1) order processing — automatically logging new orders to a spreadsheet or ERP, notifying the fulfilment team via Slack, and updating the customer record in a CRM; (2) abandoned cart recovery — detecting new abandoned carts and triggering a follow-up email sequence or a personalised discount coupon; (3) product catalogue management — creating and updating products in bulk when a supplier sends a data file; (4) customer lifecycle — syncing new customers to marketing tools and tagging them based on first-order value or product category.
How does Find or Create Customer work and when should I use it?
Find or Create Customer checks whether a customer record already exists in your Ecwid store before creating a new one. The agent searches by email address first — if a match is found, it returns the existing customer record; if not, it creates a new one with the provided details. This prevents duplicate customer records when data flows in from multiple sources (a CRM, a form submission, a POS terminal) and ensures all order history stays consolidated under a single customer profile.
How does the New Abandoned Cart trigger work?
The New Abandoned Cart trigger fires within about a minute of a shopper adding items to their cart and leaving without completing the purchase. The agent can retrieve the cart contents (products, quantities, total value) and the customer's email address if they provided it, then pass that data downstream — to send a recovery email, create a discount coupon with a time-limited code, update a CRM record, or notify the sales team via Slack. Timing and follow-up cadence for the recovery sequence are configured in the workflow, not in Ecwid itself.
Can the agent create discount coupons programmatically?
Yes. The Create Discount Coupon action lets the agent mint a coupon code with a fixed amount off, a percentage discount, or free shipping — with optional constraints on minimum order value, usage limit, expiry date, and which products or categories it applies to. Agents commonly create unique per-customer coupon codes during abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase loyalty campaigns, or as resolutions to customer support tickets. The coupon is live in your Ecwid store within about a minute of the action running.
What is the difference between the New Pickup Order and New Shipping Order triggers?
The New Pickup Order and New Shipping Order triggers let you route order notifications differently depending on fulfilment method. New Pickup Order fires within about a minute of an order being placed with in-store or curbside pickup selected — useful for notifying the retail team to prepare the order. New Shipping Order fires for orders requiring delivery — useful for notifying the warehouse, printing a packing slip, or updating a shipment tracking spreadsheet. You can run separate agent workflows for each fulfilment type so the right team is always notified through the right channel.
