The default birthday email automation
To view default email flow:
1. In the app admin, go to Marketing > Automation > Say Happy Birthday
The default flow for Birthday emails:
- The 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.
- The email flow will then finish and the customer will not receive any more emails
📝Note: The email flow will also stop if a customer responds to an email and completes their purchase
