Email Automation for a Digital Service Provider: 80% Workload Cut, OR up to 21%
An end-to-end email automation platform was built ground-up for a low-deliverability digital service provider with inefficient communication processes.
An end-to-end email automation platform was built ground-up for a low-deliverability digital service provider with inefficient communication processes.
The main goals were to regain domain reputation, maximize email engagement metrics, roll out behavioral segmentation, and automate a few key lifecycle scenarios in order to reduce manual effort.
The first step was domain warm-up. Full audit of sending IPs and domain reputation was done, followed by proper configuration of authentication protocols (DKIM, SPF, DMARC). Mail volume was raised from 500 to 10,000 emails/day gradually. A heatmap of user interactions was implemented to filter out inactive addresses and improve deliverability.
Dynamic segmentation was subsequently added based on behavior (opens, clicks, dashboard activity), demographics (plan type, region), and event triggers (payment delays, inactivity).
Key lifecycle automations (expired cards, reactivation, upgrade prompts) were configured in Customer.io — reducing manual ops by 80%. These included reminders for expired cards (5/3/1-day logic), reactivation campaigns for inactive users for over 7 days, and custom upgrade offers based on plan transitions. Database integration offered real-time data triggering for all campaigns.
