How do I set up effective abandoned cart email sequences?

I'm struggling to recover lost sales from abandoned shopping carts in my e-commerce store. Every day, potential customers add items to their cart but leave without completing the purchase, which means significant lost revenue. I need a strategic approach to create email sequences that re-engage these customers, remind them of their forgotten items, and motivate them to complete their purchase. What are the most effective tactics for designing abandoned cart email campaigns that actually convert?
