Email alerts

Configure automated email alerts for segments of customers.

This guide will help you configure automated email alerts for a segment of customers. A segment of customers share certain common attributes. For example, you may segment your customers based on the following criteria:

  • pay by card
  • pay using Stripe
  • live in a particular geography

You can configure automated email alerts based on events. For example, you can send email alerts reminding the customer of:

  • the approaching due date in the event of generation of an invoice
  • an overdue payment in the event of passing of the due date

How to create an email alert

Limitations

Currently, Zenskar supports creation of the following two types of email alerts:

  • before due date: when an invoice is generated, remind customers about the approaching due date

Also, alerts can be sent only to one segment of customers: all customers.
