Trigger based email

Trigger-based emails are automated emails that are sent to customers or users based on specific actions or events that they trigger. These emails are designed to be personalized and timely, and are often used to nurture leads, improve customer engagement, and drive conversions.

Types of trigger-based emails:

  1. Welcome email: Sent to new subscribers or customers as a welcome message, often with a discount or promotion.
  2. Abandoned cart email: Sent to customers who have left items in their cart without checking out, encouraging them to complete the purchase.
  3. Birthday email: Sent to customers on their birthday, often with a special offer or discount.
  4. Anniversary email: Sent to customers on the anniversary of their purchase or subscription, often with a special offer or loyalty reward.
  5. Win-back email: Sent to inactive customers or subscribers to try to win them back with a special offer or promotion.
  6. Purchase follow-up email: Sent to customers after a purchase, to thank them for their business and offer additional products or services.
  7. Survey email: Sent to customers to gather feedback and opinions on their experience with a product or service.
  8. Re-engagement email: Sent to customers who have not interacted with a brand in a while, to re-engage them with a special offer or promotion.
  9. Upsell/cross-sell email: Sent to customers who have purchased a product or service, to offer related products or services.
  10. Event-based email: Sent to customers based on specific events, such as a product launch or a sale.

  3. Increased conversions: Trigger-based emails can be designed to encourage customers to take a specific action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a service.
  4. Cost-effective: Trigger-based emails can be automated, which means they can be sent at a lower cost than traditional email marketing campaigns.
  5. Data-driven: Trigger-based emails are based on data and analytics, which means they can be optimized and improved over time.
