* Send - send immediately or specify a time in the future to send the message.

Advanced

* Order Count Is - Trigger a message if a customer has an order count according to the selected count. 
* Limit Products Visible - By default, all products that were purchased are shown in the email message; if you would like to set a maximum number of products to be displayed, enable this option. 
* Price Trigger - When enabled, trigger messages based on if an order is greater than or less than a specific price level. 
* Product Filter - If you require certain products to be in a cart before a rule is triggered, add the product codes in the text area. If you have a product filter set and a general abandoned cart rule configured, the most specific rule will fire when there is a match. 
* Blacklist - Enter individual email(s) or domains that you would like to prevent this workflow rule from sending to. For domain blocks, use asterisks before the domain name e.g. \*\*@domain.com. 
* Usage Limits - When activated, this setting will limit the number of emails that are sent to a customer email address. This feature does not impact other messaging workflows of its type and is only specific to the rule being created.

* Pending – shows messages that validated based on rule criteria and are scheduled to be sent.
* Sent – shows information about messages that have been sent as a result of meeting rule criteria.
