How to deploy the use case
After downloading the use case, follow these steps.
Meet the requirements
Check if the data in your project meets the requirements. The Use Case Center lists requirements for each use case during the deployment process.
Ensure your project data includes purchase_item
events from the last 365 days for the chosen product categories. Customers must have at least two purchase_item
events with the same product ID for repeat reminders.
Understand the use case logic
This use case aims to reduce churn and cultivate an active, engaged subscriber base. The email campaign scenario contains the following steps:
1. Initial load
Track 'repeat' events for customers with purchase_item
events in the last 365 days.
2. Regular load and email campaign for first-time buyers
Evaluate every purchase_item
event. If the customer has a previous purchase with the product ID, create a repeat event. If not, calculate the average refill time and send a reminder 24 hours before the refill day, optimized for the best click rate.
3. Email flow for repeated buyers
- Option 1: Triggered on 'return' event, sending reminders for one product at a time.
- Option 2: Triggered weekly, cumulating products for refill in the next week.
