Inactive user email after 7 days

An inactive user email goes to someone who hasn't used your product for about a week. The best ones are helpful rather than guilt-tripping: remind them what they were working on and offer a quick way back in.

Trigger type

Time-based, checked automatically

How often

Once per user

Subject

We miss you at {{productName}}

Hi {{displayName}},

It's been {{daysSinceActive}} days since you last used {{productName}}, so we wanted to check in.

When it sends in Atlis

The user hasn't been active for 7 days. Checked every hour.

Goal: Bring quiet users back before they forget about you.

Tips for this email

  • Remind them of what they already set up, so coming back feels like picking up where they left off.
  • Offer help or a short tip rather than a discount.
  • Pair it with a 14-day email for people who still don't return.

Questions

How does Atlis measure inactivity?

From the user's last activity: snippet page views and events, Server API events, or a lastActiveAt value you send. Users with no activity data at all are skipped.

How often is it checked?

Every hour, and each user gets it at most once.
