Setting Up the Shopping Cart Element

To set up the shopping cart element in your email builder, follow these steps:

1. Access the Email Builder: Navigate to the email builder in your Gymini dashboard.

2. Select the Shopping Cart Element: In the email builder, find and select the shopping cart element to add it to your email template.

3. Populate Order Details: Use the order category and custom values to populate the necessary details for the order confirmation email. This includes details of the products purchased.

4. Create an Email Template: Build out a template that will auto-populate with the necessary details when used in a workflow.

Adding Product Images

To ensure that the correct product images appear in the confirmation email, adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Add Images in the Payment Products Tab: Upload the appropriate images for each product in the payment products tab.

2. Auto-Population of Images: The system will automatically use the images uploaded in the payment products tab in the confirmation email.

3. Recommendation: It is highly recommended to upload images in the payment products tab to avoid auto-generation of unsuitable images.

Integrating the Template in Workflows

Once your template is ready, integrate it into your workflows to automate the sending of confirmation emails:

1. Select the Template in Your Workflow: Choose the created template in the relevant step of your workflow.

2. Test the Workflow: Complete an order to test the workflow and ensure that the confirmation email is sent out correctly with all the necessary details and images.
