Due to GDPR, it is important to not save customer data if there is no reason for use. You can use marketing automation to automatically delete inactive customers and make sure that you have a clean tenant with relevant and interested customers.
Follow this step-by-step guide to set up a marketing automation workflow that covers:
- How to use the trigger Scheduled selection including recommended entry conditions
- How to assign and remove a label that enables tracking in other communication
- How to do send-outs
- How to separate reactivated and inactive customer
- How to delete a customer
- How to name and activate the automation
About Scheduled selections
This trigger is useful when none of the default ones covers your needs and you want to start an automated flow based on available data in the Segment builder (e..g. contact fields, transactions, interactions in emails, promotions, etc.) The automation will be triggered when a contact or a group of contacts matches the search criteria.
The trigger differs from other default ones in Voyado, mainly in two ways:
1. Flexibility. You have the possibility to decide enter criteria, meaning you can include contacts that aren't covered by the other triggers.
2. Considers history. As soon as you activate it, all contacts that match the selected criteria will enter the automation. It considers historical data, in opposition to the other default triggers. They only include contacts that start to match the criteria from the day you activate it. This might result in a large number of contacts from day one and is one of the reason why Voyado need to monitor the selection to ensure your desired automation don't get hick-ups.
How to get started
