How can I track the revenue I recover from abandoned cart emails?

I'm struggling to understand the true impact of my abandoned cart email campaigns. While I know these emails can help recover lost sales, I'm having difficulty quantifying their exact revenue contribution. I want to set up a systematic way to track how much money these emails are actually bringing back to my business, beyond just looking at open rates or click-through rates. What specific metrics and methods can I use to measure the real revenue recovery from my abandoned cart email strategies?
