Introduction

This summary provides a detailed overview of the checkout process, focusing on how user details are captured, verified, and updated within an automated flow.

It explains the step-by-step logic behind user registration, form integration, automation triggers, and flow navigation, emphasizing user-friendly design and system efficiency.

The Checkout Process Overview

The checkout process begins when a user presses the "Checkout" button after completing their shopping. The system then initiates a sequence to verify whether the user has registered and has existing details.

  • Initial Checkpoint:
    The system checks if user details exist by examining key fields such as first name and street address.

    • If these fields are empty or guessed, the user is prompted to register.

  • Registration via Form Generator:
    Instead of asking multiple questions directly in the chat, a mini app creates a form URL for user registration.

    • The form URL is saved in a custom field (form._url).

    • The user fills out this form, providing essential details like name, address, postcode, city, and country.

  • Form Submission & Automation Trigger:
    Once the form is submitted, an automation trigger (form_capture_customers_details_new_form_submitted) activates.

    • This trigger captures the submitted data and maps it to user fields such as first name, last name, email, address, etc.

    • The data is then stored in the system, updating the user's profile.

User Data Handling & Verification

  • Data Mapping & Storage:
    The captured form data is systematically saved into corresponding user fields, ensuring consistency and accuracy.

    • Fields include:

  • Flow Transition:
    After data capture, the user is directed to Flow 3.2, which confirms the details.

    • The system displays the captured information and asks for confirmation.

    • If confirmed, the user proceeds to checkout.

    • If not confirmed, they are routed to update details.

Updating User Details

  • Change Details Flow:
    When users opt to modify their information, they are taken to a dedicated flow where they can update individual fields like name, email, or address.

    • The system prompts:
      "What would you like to change?"

    • Users select the specific detail to update, and the system allows editing.

    • After updates, users are redirected back to the confirmation step.

  • Reconfirmation & Finalization:
    Once updates are made, the system re-asks for confirmation.

    • If the details are correct, the process moves forward to checkout.

    • If not, the user can continue editing.

Flow Navigation & Automation

  • Flow Structure:

    • Flow 3.1: Handles existing user details, confirming correctness.

    • Flow 3.2: Manages new user registration and confirmation.

    • Step 5: Facilitates user updates to details.

    • Checkout Flow: The final step, where the user reviews their order and completes the purchase.

  • Automation Triggers:
    The system relies on specific triggers to automate transitions, such as form submissions and user confirmations, ensuring a seamless experience.
