I'm looking to see if i can emulate the old toolkit savebasket2email function using the built in abandoned basket template based email set up.
What I am thinking is having a button on BASK "Save Cart to My Email".
On click it opens a simple form asking for their first name and email with a button to submit.
When submitted it would send the abandoned basket email with all their cart contents like normal as well as extending the basket timeout accrodingly.
Then I could setup a chain of reminders in regards to the basket expiring.
How can I trigger a template based email this way using smt code on page templates?
It could be even more awesome by adding a dropdown with a couple options for how long to save the cart for that would overwrite the basket timeout settings. Ex: 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, etc. But for now I would be happy being able to do this with whatever we have the basket timeout set to for the abandoned basket emails.
The ultimate goal is to allow users to save their cart without an account.
Leveraging the abandoned basket emails just seemed the most efficient way to not have a large database of saved baskets.
If there are better suggestions to get this done, I am open to any.
Thanks.
