Recovery Pipeline
The Problem This Solves
A list of abandoned sessions is only useful if you have a structured way to work through it. The Recovery Pipeline turns your abandoned leads into a visual Kanban board where you can track every contact attempt, send personalized WhatsApp messages, generate discount codes, and confirm wins — all without leaving the dashboard.
The Five Pipeline Stages
Go to Abandoned Checkout > Recovery Pipeline.
The board is divided into five columns, one for each stage of the recovery process:
| Stage | Who Belongs Here |
|---|---|
| Abandoned | Fresh leads — not yet contacted |
| Contacted | You have sent a message or placed a call |
| Negotiating | Customer is responding — you may be discussing a discount |
| Recovered | Customer agreed to place the order |
| Lost | Customer confirmed they are not ordering |

Reading a Lead Card
Each card on the board shows:
- Customer name and phone number
- Product name and quantity
- Total order value (in DA)
- A colored left border indicating priority: red (urgent), orange (high), amber (medium), gray (low)
- Tags for any discount offered or follow-up scheduled
Moving a Lead to the Next Stage
Option 1 — Drag and drop: Grab the grip handle on the left side of the card and drag it into the next column.
Option 2 — Advance button: Click the action button at the bottom of the card. The button label shows the next logical step: Mark as Contacted, Start Negotiating, or Mark as Recovered.
A lead in the Lost column can be retried: drag it back to Contacted to begin a new outreach cycle.
Using Quick Actions
Each card has two buttons that appear on hover:
- A phone icon — opens your phone dialer with the customer’s number pre-filled
- A message bubble icon — opens the Quick Actions panel
- 1Send a WhatsApp Recovery MessageClick the message bubble on any card. In the Message tab, choose one of three pre-written templates:
- Reminder — a friendly nudge inviting the customer to complete their order
- Discount — a personalized message announcing an exclusive offer for this customer
- Urgency — highlights limited availability or a time-sensitive condition
Each template is automatically filled with the customer’s first name and the exact product they had in their cart. Review the message in the preview area, then click Send on WhatsApp to open a pre-filled conversation directly in WhatsApp Web or the mobile app.
- 2Generate a Discount CodeClick the Discount tab in the Quick Actions panel. Select a discount percentage — 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%. A unique one-time code is generated immediately and attached to this lead’s card. The code auto-populates into the Discount message template so your WhatsApp message stays consistent.
- 3Schedule a Follow-Up ReminderClick the Follow-Up tab. Set a date and time for your next contact attempt using the date picker. Once saved, a calendar badge appears on the lead’s card as a visual reminder that a follow-up is due.
