Growing up math was never my favorite subject but I did love a good, “If –> Then” statement. Automation triggers are the ultimate If —> Then statement for your business.
Have you ever had customers start strong but seem to vanish after a while? I believe that your job is to keep your customers engaged and coming back for more.
One effective way to do this is by setting up Customer Engagement Automation Triggers to alert you when a customer hasn’t logged into your core platform for more than 7 days.
The Importance of Keeping Customers Engaged
Engagement is the lifeblood of any successful business. When your customers are actively engaging with your content, they are more likely to see results, feel satisfied with your services, and become loyal advocates for your brand.
However, when they disengage, they miss out on the value you provide, which can lead to cancellations and a negative impact on your business reputation.
Why 7 Days?
Seven days is a critical timeframe. It’s long enough to indicate a potential problem but short enough to allow you to take timely action.
If a customer hasn’t logged in for a week, they might be struggling with your content, feeling overwhelmed, or simply getting distracted by other commitments.
By catching this early, you can address any issues before they become deal-breakers.

Setting Up the Trigger
Setting up an automation trigger is straightforward with most core platforms.
NOTE: Notifications can be sent via email, text or notification through your program. It will depend on how you communicate with your customers.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
Choose Your Tool: Make sure your system support automation triggers. We recommend either Kajabi or Learndash.
Define Inactivity: Set the criteria for inactivity. In this case, it’s when a customer hasn’t logged in for 7 days.
Create the Trigger: Use the automation features to set up an alert. I recommend an email notification to you and an automated message to the customer.
Personalize Your Response: Craft a personalized message to re-engage your customer. It could be a friendly check-in, an offer of help, or a reminder of the value they’re missing out on.

Crafting the Perfect Re-Engagement Message
When a customer receives your message, it should feel personal and supportive. Here’s a template you can use:
