How to Create a Birthday Flow?

Overview

This flow is designed to enhance customer engagement and loyalty by sending personalized birthday greetings and discount offers to your customers on their special day. This guide will provide you with a clear understanding of how to set up, configure, and manage this automated email flow.

Create this flow from scratch😌

Step 1: Go to the “Journeys” tab and create a new journey from scratch.

Step 2: Select the “Occurrence of a date” as a trigger. 

The Birthday Email Flow is triggered by the customer's birthday date. So, make sure you choose the frequency for this trigger as Yearly. 

You can specify the exact timing for the email to be sent, along with when to trigger such as on the customer's birthday or a day before.  Know more about this trigger

Another birthday flow that you can create

If you've configured a trigger to activate a few days before the actual birthday, you can adjust the flow as follows:

Step 1: As soon as the journey is initiated for the user, send the initial email containing a birthday discount offer.

Step 2: On the day of their birthday, send a follow-up email to extend birthday wishes and gently remind them about the available coupon.
