Send Message After User Leaves App If Action Incomplete
Initial Setup
- Use Data Tags to mark that the action needs to be performed by the user. Remove the tag when the action is completed.
- Setup the Segment for this tag.
Journey Settings | Option | Description |
---|---|---|
Trigger | User is inactive for amount of time. | The amount time you want the user to be inactive before the message is sent. |
Audience | Include the segment you want to target with the tag. | These are the users eligible to receive the message. |
Exit Rules | Exit when user no longer matches the audience conditions. | When the user leaves the segment, they will no longer be eligible for the journey message. |
Re-entry Rules | Yes, after a certain amount of time. | The amount of time you want to wait for the user to be eligible to get the message again. |
Journey Steps:
- Send the desired message(s). This will send as soon as possible after the Trigger.
- Wait node set for x amount of time you want the user to wait for. This can be a high or low number depending on if you want the message to show again as a reminder. In the example, we use 104 weeks (2 years).
AB Test Within a Journey
Using a Split Branch node, you can set a 50/50 split within your journey. Create 2 different message templates and as your users flow through, half will get "Template A" and the other "Template B".
You can then export your message data to check the Analytics as desired.
