Description

Inactive leads can reduce deliverability and distort campaign results. This workflow identifies leads who have never purchased and haven’t engaged (no email opens, clicks, or site visits) for more than 90 days. By sending a short sequence of reactivation emails, it gives them a chance to re-engage. If they interact with emails or the website, they are moved back to the Leads Active segment automatically. If not, they are tagged as inactive and can be targeted with dedicated campaigns or removed from the database – improving quality and performance of future outreach.

Detail user scenario

The automation identifies users who enter the Leads Not Active segment — meaning they have never purchased and haven’t opened, clicked, or visited the site for more than 90 days, while still having valid email consent. Once detected, the system sends the first reactivation email designed to re-engage them. After four days, the workflow checks again: if the lead remains inactive and email consent is still valid, a second email is sent. Otherwise, the user is moved to the Leads Active segment following engagement. Three days later, the system performs another check. If the lead is still inactive, the tag lead_not-active_after-reactivation is applied, moving them into the Leads Not Active after Reactivation segment; if they’ve engaged, they’re transitioned to Leads Active. Optionally, persistently inactive leads can later be scheduled for database cleanup to maintain high deliverability and segmentation accuracy.

Step-by-step

  • 1
    A user enters Leads Not Active: never purchased, no email opens, clicks, or site visits in the last 90+ days, with email consent = TRUE.
  • 2
    Email 1 with reactivation content is sent.
  • 3
    After 4 days → if still in Leads Not Active and consent = TRUE → Email 2 is sent. Otherwise, the user is moved to Leads Active after engagement.
  • 4
    After 3 more days → if still inactive → tag lead_not-active_after-reactivation is applied, moving the user into Leads Not Active after React. Otherwise, the user is moved to Leads Active.
  • 5
    (Optional) Leads who remain inactive after reactivation can be scheduled for database cleanup, ensuring higher deliverability and accuracy.
