Hi, just looking for some guidance on an error I keep receiving regarding my shopify flow automation regarding abandoned checkouts.

If you are using the new Abandoned Checkout Marketing Automation, the way to send the email manually has changed. See here for more information.

So there’s no way at all to send a payment reminder email if the customer didn’t check the box to receive email from marketing?
