AI agents for marketing teams in ecommerce

Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your ecommerce marketing team already uses, from building an abandoned-cart flow by hand to an agent building and queuing it the moment a cart goes cold.

Ecommerce marketers get back the hours lost to cart flows, ad spend checks, and scheduling every post by hand.

Where you spend your time

Why Ecommerce Marketing teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

What matters to you
  • Cart flows send before the shopper forgets
    The moment a cart or browse session goes cold, the agent builds and queues the recovery sequence, not a week later.
  • Sale campaigns built from one brief
    Email, social, and ad copy for a flash sale draft from the same brief, ready for review on the promo's short runway.
  • Ad spend watched so budget stops leaking
    ROAS is checked across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Google daily, and an underperforming ad set is flagged fast.
  • Content posted on schedule, every channel
    The week's brief becomes scheduled posts across every channel the store runs, instead of one at a time by hand.
  • Reviews turned into ready-to-post proof
    New five-star reviews and customer photos are pulled into a drafted social post, queued for your approval.
  • Built around your marketing stack
    These are examples of what an ecommerce marketing agent can do. Build a custom agent for whatever your team repeats.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Ecommerce Marketing team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • A cart goes cold and the recovery sequence does not go out until someone remembers to build it in Klaviyo, by which point the shopper has already forgotten what they were looking at, or bought it somewhere else.

    An agent detects the cart the moment it goes cold, builds a personalised recovery sequence from your templates, and queues it for approval before the shopper has moved on.

  • A flash sale means rewriting the same offer five ways, once for the email, once for each social channel, once for the ad copy, on the two or three days a promo calendar actually allows for the work.

    An agent drafts the email, social captions, and ad copy from one brief, all in the brand's voice, so the campaign is ready to review instead of ready to start writing.

  • Ad spend keeps burning on a set that stopped converting days ago, because checking ROAS across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Google separately every day is not a job anyone consistently has time for.

    An agent checks ROAS across every connected ad platform on a schedule, flags any set burning budget without converting, and drafts the pause action for review.

  • The week's content plan slips because scheduling each post separately across every channel eats an afternoon that was supposed to go to the next campaign brief.

    An agent turns the week's brief into scheduled posts across every channel the store runs, and queues each one for a quick approval instead of a manual publish.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenA shopper's cart sits untouched for an hourfires within about a minute
The agent automatically

When a cart has had no activity for an hour with checkout not completed, the agent pulls the cart contents and the shopper's history within about a minute, builds a personalised recovery sequence from your templates, and queues it for approval before the shopper has forgotten the brand.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An agent touching your cart flows, ad spend, and public-facing content only earns trust if you stay in control. Actionist is built so every send and every spend change waits for you, and you see exactly what the agent did.

Campaign sends wait for your approval

An email flow, a social post, or a review reply is drafted first and queued for sign-off. Nothing reaches a shopper or goes public on its own unless you widen that autonomy yourself.

Ad spend changes never happen blind

Pausing an ad set or shifting budget is drafted as a recommendation with the ROAS data attached, and waits for your review before anything changes on the live account.

Full audit trail of every campaign

Every draft, approval, and sent flow is logged in a timestamped record, so you can see exactly what went out, to whom, and why.

Your customer and campaign data stays yours

Shopper details, cart contents, and ad performance data are encrypted and never used to train any model. Self-host on a VPS if everything needs to stay on your own infrastructure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my ecommerce marketing team need to be technical to use Actionist?
No. Actionist is built for marketers, not developers. You describe how your store's cart flows, campaigns, and ad accounts work in plain language, connect the apps you already use, and the agent handles the rest. There is no code to write and nothing to configure through an API for most tools, because the agent operates the apps the way a person would.
How do I get started with a marketing agent for my store?
Book a free demo and an Actionist team member will walk through your biggest marketing pain point, whether that is cart recovery, ad spend monitoring, or content scheduling, and set up a working example against your real store data. Most teams have their first marketing agent running within a day of the demo.
How do I make customised AI agents for how my marketing team actually works?
Walk Actionist through what the agent should do, which apps it touches, and when each action needs your sign-off. For cart recovery, set the templates and discount tiers to use; for ad spend, give it the ROAS number that should trigger a flag. It applies those rules every run, and you can adjust them as your campaigns evolve.
How quickly can I set an ecommerce marketing agent up?
A basic agent, one that builds an abandoned-cart sequence and queues it for approval, can be running within hours of your demo. Workflows that span several tools, like drafting a flash-sale campaign across email, social, and ads from one brief, typically take one to three days of iteration to get right. You review it against real campaigns before it touches your live audience.
Where does our customer and campaign data live, and is it used to train AI models?
Your shopper details, cart contents, and ad performance data stay yours. Everything the agent reads and writes is encrypted, and none of it is used to train any AI model. Every drafted campaign and every approval is logged in a full audit trail. If you need everything on your own infrastructure, you can self-host Actionist on a VPS.
How does an agent manage ad accounts and social posting without an API for every platform?
It uses computer use on the desktop: the agent opens Meta Ads Manager, TikTok's dashboard, or a scheduling tool the way you do, reads what is on the screen, and clicks through the update the same way a person would. That means it can work with a platform that has no supported integration, because it is operating the actual interface, not calling an endpoint that may not exist.
Will the agent send a campaign or spend ad budget without me seeing it first?
By default, anything that reaches a shopper or changes live ad spend, an email flow, a social post, a budget shift, waits for your approval. The agent drafts it, queues it in Slack or your inbox, and only sends or changes anything once you confirm. You can widen that autonomy for the actions you trust, but customer-facing sends and spend changes always ask first.
Can it keep pace with campaign volume during a flash sale or holiday push?
Yes. The scheduled checks that watch cart flows, ad spend, and the content calendar keep running through a sales spike on the same cadence as a normal week. What changes is the volume of carts and campaigns flowing through them, not whether the agent shows up, so a Black Friday spike gets the same drafting speed as a quiet Tuesday.
Could an agent post something off-brand or damage our ad account's standing?
The agent only takes the actions you have approved it for, and anything that publishes publicly or changes ad spend waits for your review by default until you decide to trust that step. Because it drafts from your actual templates and brand voice rather than generating copy from scratch, a reviewer is checking a draft that already matches your brand, not correcting a blank page.
