Postscript Setup

What we’re building

We’ll build an automation with three messages, powered by the Repeat - Lapsed Customer trigger:

1. Create a new automation and add your trigger

We’ll create a new automation, choose the Repeat - LapsedCustomer trigger, and add a cancellation trigger for Order Created.

2. Create 3 messages

We’ll add three messages to this flow. We recommend setting the wait time to 5 days between messages. Here’s some sample copy to get you started:

Hey {{subscriber.first_name}}, long time no see! Use code SAVE10 for 10% off your next order and keep enjoying the quality you love: YOURWEBSITE.COM

Hey {{subscriber.first_name}}, long time no see! We haven't seen you in a while. Enjoy 10% off using code SAVE10 YOURWEBSITE.COM

Hey {{subscriber.first_name}}, long time no see! Last chance for 10% off using code SAVE10! Stock up on some of everyone's favorites: YOURWEBSITE.COM

3. Activate your flow

Click “Schedule or Activate” and choose “Activate automation immediately.”

2. Create 3 messages

We’ll add three messages to this Journey. Here’s some sample copy to get you started:

Copy

Hey {{subscriber.firstName | default: 'there'}}, long time no see! Use code SAVE10 for 10% off your next order and keep enjoying the quality you love: YOURWEBSITE.COM

Copy

Hey {{subscriber.firstName | default: 'there'}}, we haven't seen you in a while. Enjoy 10% off using code SAVE10 YOURWEBSITE.COM

Copy

Hey {{subscriber.first_name}}, long time no see! Last chance for 10% off using code SAVE10! Stock up on some of everyone's favorites: YOURWEBSITE.COM

3. Add delays & remove customers from the flow after purchasing

We recommend adding a 5-day delay between each message. We’ll also add a branch after the delay (and before the next message is sent) to check if a customer has made purchase since starting the Journey.
