Creating Email Reminders
Before setting up an email reminder rule, you must first set up a cart price rule to define the promotion that is being offered. Rule conditions that trigger an email reminder can be based on cart properties, wishlist properties, or both.
Email reminders might promote a cart price rule with, or without, a coupon. A cart price rule that defines an auto-generated coupon generates a random coupon code for each customer.

1. | On the Admin sidebar, tap Marketing. Then under Communications, choose Email Reminder Rules. |
2. | In the upper-right corner, tap Add New Rule. |
3. | Complete the Rule Information, as follows: |
a. | Enter a Rule Name to identify the rule internally. |
