Automation Campaigns

In this section, you will learn about Automation Campaigns.

What are Automation Campaigns?

Automation Campaigns (formerly known as time-based campaigns) let you schedule loyalty initiatives to run automatically - triggered by a date or a recurring schedule - without manual intervention.

Automation Campaigns run after midnight according to the timezone configured for the tenant.

Performance limitations

• Automation Campaigns can be triggered for audiences equal to or lower than 200,000 (limit does not apply to Birthday Campaigns and Membership Anniversary Campaigns).

• The maximum number of Automation Campaigns is 4 (active and inactive) in the loyalty program (in one tenant).

🚀 What Automation Campaigns Do

They’re designed to automatically reward members at key times:

• Triggers include recurring schedules (daily, weekly, monthly), birthdays, and membership anniversaries.

• Rules specify conditions (member segment, tier, custom attributes) and effects (awarding points, coupons, balance adjustments).

• Limits & Budgets control how many rewards can be issued overall or per member.

• Visibility & Status settings decide who sees the campaign and when it becomes active.
