Common questions

How do I set up automatic follow-ups for customers who stopped ordering?

In Pludor, open Outreach & CRM > Automation and turn on the master switch, then enable Stale Customers and set how many days since their last order before the follow-up goes out. You can also enable Stale Leads for leads who never bought. Rate limits keep it from messaging too aggressively.

What's the best way to recover abandoned orders without doing it manually?

Enable the Abandoned Orders flow in Pludor's Automation settings - it follows up orders stuck in New or Confirmed automatically. Set your timing and rate limits, then check Recent Automation Messages to see what was sent. If you want help writing the message itself, the free Abandoned Cart Message Writer tool drafts one for you.

How much does Pludor's store automation cost?

It's on for every store, including the Free plan - you get a free amount of automation runs every month (200 on Free), then pay only for what you use at 1 credit = 1 cent. Paid plans like Starter or Growth just bundle more credits and bigger free amounts. No card is needed to start.

How do I send a thank-you message after an order is delivered?

In Pludor, open Outreach & CRM > Automation, turn on the master switch, and enable Post-Delivery. It sends post-delivery thank-yous automatically once an order is marked delivered. You can set rate limits so customers aren't over-messaged.

What's the difference between automation flows and automation rules?

Flows (Stale Leads, Abandoned Orders, Post-Delivery) run on a schedule based on inactivity or order status. Rules are if-this-then-that: you pick a trigger like new order, new lead, missed call or delivered order, and an action like sending a template, adding a tag or creating a nudge. In Pludor you set flows under Outreach & CRM > Automation and rules under Automation Rules in the Management menu.

How do I stop automated messages from spamming my customers?

Set rate limits in the automation settings - Pludor lets you cap how often automated messages go out. You can also adjust the days-inactive timing so flows only trigger after a real gap. Review the Recent Automation Messages log regularly to see exactly what was sent.

Can I follow up on leads that went cold?

Yes - enable the Stale Leads flow in Pludor's Automation settings and it re-engages leads who haven't acted in a while. Set how many days inactive counts as stale, plus rate limits. You can track the lead's status from new to won in the Leads section.

How do I know if my automated messages actually got delivered?

Check Recent Automation Messages in the Automation settings to see what Pludor sent. For rule-based messages, look under Failed in Outreach for anything that couldn't be delivered. Testing with a sample order or lead before going live also helps confirm everything runs.

Is there a free way to write an abandoned cart message that actually converts?

Pludor's free Abandoned Cart Message Writer drafts a message when you name your product - you get 8 free runs an hour with no account. You can also open a free store, which comes with 500 welcome credits for tools and AI. Then paste the message into your abandoned-order flow or templates.

What else can I combine with automations to win back past customers?

Pludor has three email flows for this: Win-back, Order-again and Re-engagement emails, found under Promotions in the Growth & AI menu. Enable them, create a promo code to feature, optionally set a Win-back Discount, and they send automatically alongside your automation flows.
