Using deeplinks to create automations
This section explains how to create deeplink automations with Purchasely
General principle
Purchasely allows marketing and growth team to create no-code automations. A few examples of campaigns that can be created:
- Welcoming new premium members with an email and engaging them with a product overview or tutorial
- Converting long term freemium members with a particular promotion
- Mitigating involuntary churn by inviting premium members in grace period to update their billing details
- Retaining premium members about to churn with promotional offers
- Winning-back lapsed subscribers with discounted offers
These automations can be created by combining together various features of the platform:
- The subscription events and the associated attributes, allowing to map every subscriber in their subscription lifecycle
- The native integrations with engagement and CRM platforms, allowing to send real-time server events and user properties from Purchasely to these 3rd-party platforms and leverage Purchasely data into them
- The segmenting capabilities of the Purchasely Platform, allowing to tailor the screen displayed to the audience to which a user belongs
- The deeplink capabilities of the SDK, allowing to automatically display a Placement or Screen from a deeplink
For retention and win-back automations, promotional offers allowing to discount a price to existing or lapsed subscribers will also be used
Configuring an automation
To make these automations work, the following steps must be achieved:
- Configure the screens to be displayed and mapping the Call-To-Actions with the desired offers or action types
- Configure the audience matching the targeted users
- Map the screen with the audience together with the desired placement
- Activate the integration with the desired 3rd party engagement and CRM platform and definz which Server Events and User Properties must be forwarded to the 3rd party platform.
- Subscription Events are convenient to play the role of trigger
E.g.: send a push notification when a user enters in Grace Period (Subscription EventGRACE_PERIOD_STARTED
triggered) - User Properties are convenient to create cohorts of users
E.g.: create a campaign for all users who are in Grace Period (User Propertysubscription_status
=IN_GRACE_PERIOD
=> They are updated at the same time a Subscription Event is generate in the Subscription Lifecycle.
- Subscription Events are convenient to play the role of trigger
- Create an engagement campaign in the 3rd-party platform and associating it with the placement deeplink (created at step 3)
