After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line will no longer receive quality updates, or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reaches end of support in December 2021 and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reaches end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend planning your upgrade now to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

Exclusion Rules

Create an exclusion rule in Magento to prevent abandoned cart and review emails from being sent from dotdigital campaigns under certain conditions. A rule describes the conditions that must be met to trigger the action. For example, a rule might exclude all abandoned carts with a subtotal that is equal to, or less than ten.
