Automation Rule: Product expiration due

Automation Rule: Product expiration due

This automation rule sends a reminder to a member a set number of days before their purchased products (like visit passes or personal training packs) are due to expire. It's a proactive way to encourage members to use their remaining credits and an excellent opportunity to promote repurchasing.

• Increase Product Usage: Prompt members to use their remaining sessions or visits before they are gone, improving the value they get from their purchase.
• Drive Renewal Sales: Automatically remind members to buy a new product package just as their current one is running out.
• Enhance Member Experience: Provide a helpful, courteous service by keeping members informed about their active products.
• Customizable Timing: You can precisely control when the reminder is sent, for example, 7 days or 14 days before the expiration date.

Before You Start

1. Navigate to PGM -> Automation -> Automation Rules.
2. Press 'Add automation rule' to create a new rule.
3. In the pop-up window:
   • Create a unique name for the Automation Centre Rule (e.g., "7-Day Product Expiry Warning").
   • Select 'Notification' as the Action.
   • Select 'Product expiration due' from the rule list.
4. A new configuration window will open. The most important setting for this rule is the timing. In the "Send notification" section, choose a number of days and select "before an event". This will send the notification that many days before the product's actual expiration date.
5. Choose an Action:
   • Email: Send an email to the club member. Enter a 'From Email' and 'From Name'.
   • SMS: Send a text message (cost per SMS applies).
   • Push notification: Send a push notification to members who use the PG App.
6. In Notification Content, create the notification message. The [EXPIRING_PRODUCTS] token is essential for this rule as it lists all relevant items.

Tokens

Use these tokens to personalize your notification with the member's details and a list of their expiring products.

• [USER_LAST_NAME]: The member's last name (e.g., "Smith").

• [EXPIRING_PRODUCTS]: Automatically generates a formatted list of all the member's products that are about to expire, including their names and expiration dates. This is perfect for use in an email.
