Before you get started
Some key details to note about the Say happy birthday automation:
The Say happy birthday automation is prebuilt in your Marsello app admin.
This prebuilt automation adheres to the following procedure:
The birthday automation trigger is activated 7 days before the customer's birthday
The first email is sent, letting customers know that they have received an early birthday gift - a 10% off coupon
If the first email does not result in a purchase, a second email will be sent 7 days later, wishing them a happy birthday and prompting them to use their gift
One more reminder will be sent 21 days later, letting the customer know their birthday gift will expire in 2 days.
When the automation is finished, the customer will not receive any more emails. (This automation will also be marked as complete if a customer responds to an email and completes their purchase.)
The Say happy birthday automation is fully customizable to suit your brand's needs. You can add/remove emails in the automation and even update the discount settings.
