Billing & churn email template

Cancellation and win-back email

A cancellation email confirms the subscription has ended, asks one question about why, and leaves the door open to come back. Done well, it gives you honest feedback and wins some customers back later.

Trigger type

Event-based, sent the moment it happens

How often

Each time it happens

Automatic from

Stripe, Paddle, CRM status
