Why Contacts Might Not Enter the Post-Purchase Automation?

Learn why a contact who completed an order may not enter the post-purchase automation and how to troubleshoot this issue.

Updated yesterday

Sometimes, a contact may complete an order but not proceed to the post-purchase automation. Understanding the reasons behind this can help you troubleshoot and ensure all contacts receive the intended follow-up messages.


Possible Reasons

Order Status

  • The order status might not be marked as “Complete.”

  • If the order is labeled as “Draft” or “Cancelled,” the contact will not enter the post-purchase automation.

Webhook Issues

  • BusinessChat relies on webhooks from your e-commerce platform to trigger post-purchase automations.

  • Some platforms, such as Zid or Salla, may not send updates for every order, causing some contacts to be missed.

Recommended Action

  • Verify the order status directly in your e-commerce platform.

  • Contact your e-commerce platform provider to ensure webhooks are correctly configured and updates for all orders are being sent.

💡 Tip

Regular monitoring of webhooks and order statuses helps ensure that all eligible contacts enter the post-purchase automation smoothly.
