Written by Niezl

Email widgets are tools designed to extend e-commerce functionality beyond your main website, particularly in email campaigns. This guide provides an overview of three specialized use cases: Email Abandonment Flow, Email Product Carousel, and Email Social Carousel. Each widget serves a specific purpose in customer communication.


Email Abandonment Flows

The Abandonment Flow email widget is a powerful feature that allows you to dynamically populate videos based on product IDs featured in your email flows.

Key Features:

  • Dynamic content based on abandoned products

  • Currently available only for Klaviyo and Omnisend users

  • Helps reduce cart abandonment rates


Email Social Carousels

The Social Carousel email or 'Trending videos' use case is great to add to a newsletter, product launch and even to a welcome flow. Even though its designed for campaigns it can be used in a flow (only it would show the same videos no matter what the trigger properties are).

Key Features:

  • Works in both email campaigns and flows

  • Suitable for all email platforms

  • Automatic video updates without code regeneration

  • Customizable playlist selection


Email Product Carousels

The Product Carousel email is perfect for running specific product campaigns.

Key Features:

  • Suitable only for Klaviyo and Omnisend users

  • Designed for specific product campaigns

  • Works in both email campaigns and flows


Choosing the Right Widget

Consider these factors when selecting a widget:

  1. Campaign Type: Are you re-engaging abandoned carts, launching a new product, or showcasing trending items?

  2. Email Platform: Are you using Klaviyo or another email service provider?

  3. Content Dynamism: Do you need product-specific dynamic content or a more general showcase?
