Industry

You can use web push notifications to remind customers of their last viewed products, helping them pick up where they left off and complete their purchase journey. Personalized push notifications can increase customer engagement, retention, and ultimately, sales. Reach your customers in a non-intrusive way and provide a seamless shopping experience that keeps your brand top of mind.

In this use case, you will create a workflow sending a personalized web push with product recently viewed by customer.
