# Follow-up Campaigns

Follow-up campaigns let you build a **campaign chain**. Completing one campaign unlocks the next.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Visibility** and **Availability** concepts described here are supported across **Campaigns**, **Referral Campaigns**, and **Challenges** (new feature).
{% endhint %}

### Overview

A follow-up campaign is a loyalty campaign that becomes **available/visible** only after a member completes a previous campaign.

Unlocking the next campaign is the reward for finishing the previous one.

### Business goals

Use follow-up campaigns to:

* Drive repeat purchases with progressive rewards.
* Create onboarding journeys (first purchase → second purchase → subscription).
* Build multi-step gamification without running campaigns in parallel.

### How it works

1. A member completes **Campaign A**.
2. The member qualifies for a **segment** based on that completion.
   * **Campaign completion** segments support a rolling time window (for example: *completed in the last X days*).
   * **Challenge completion** segments are **not** time-scoped (completion is treated as *ever completed*).
3. **Campaign B** is configured with that segment in its conditions and/or visibility.
4. When the member joins the segment, Campaign B becomes available.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Segment membership can take \~10 minutes to update after campaign completion.
{% endhint %}

### Example setup (A → B → C, with a fallback D)

Example scenarios:

* Member completes **Campaign A** → can see/unlock **Campaign B**
* Member completes **Campaign B** → can see/unlock **Campaign C**
* Member does **not** complete A–C → can see and complete **Campaign D**

### Create Campaign A

Go to **LOYALTY MODULES → Campaigns**.

Create **Campaign A** with the start/end date (example: 22.10.23 – 28.10.23).

In this example, customers who spend **€100+** receive **50 points**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a segment for “completed Campaign A”

Go to **GENERAL → Members → Segments**.

Create a segment with condition **Campaign completion** (example: complete campaign **1** time over the last **15** days).

Select **Campaign A**.

![](https://2658975168-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcNVX03KZzmrGwJihLiEx%2Fuploads%2FcoQGxxxpxh6DtZSNePv4%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=a6fe815d-a4f6-4016-98d7-8262dc8a9239)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create Campaign B for members in the segment

Go to **LOYALTY MODULES → Campaigns**.

Create **Campaign B** with the next start/end date (example: 29.10.23 – 04.11.23).

Use condition **Member segment** and select the segment from the previous step.

Set rewards/effects for your use case.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a segment for “completed Campaign B”

Go to **GENERAL → Members → Segments**.

Create a segment with condition **Campaign completion** for **Campaign B**.

![](https://2658975168-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcNVX03KZzmrGwJihLiEx%2Fuploads%2Fv48ZV9yhPxY8DgHTrq03%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=ccd2a9c0-d0f8-4a26-8f3a-216327ab4280)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create Campaign C

Go to **LOYALTY MODULES → Campaigns**.

Create **Campaign C** (example: 05.11.23 – 11.11.23).

Use condition **Member segment(s)** and select the segment from the previous step.

Set rewards/effects for your use case.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a segment for “did not complete Campaign A”

Go to **GENERAL → Members → Segments**.

Create a segment with condition **Campaign completion** (example: complete campaign **0** times over the last **7** days).

Select **Campaign A**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create Campaign D (fallback)

Go to **LOYALTY MODULES → Campaigns**.

Create **Campaign D** with a timeframe that covers A, B, and C (example: 29.10.23 – 11.11.23).

In campaign conditions:

* Include the “did not complete Campaign A” segment.
* Exclude segments for members who completed Campaign B and Campaign C.

In campaign visibility:

* Restrict visibility to the “did not complete Campaign A” segment.

Use different conditions in A vs D, so members can’t complete both unintentionally.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Tips and gotchas

{% hint style="info" %}
**Segments and “Last X days”**

This applies to segments based on **Campaign completion**.

* Same timeframe for all follow-ups: set **Last X days** to match the full chain (start of A → end of D).
* Different timeframes: set **Last X days** to cover the relevant past window for the segment.
* Segment completion count must be `<=` the campaign limitation per member.
* Prefer an end date for every follow-up campaign.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Campaign completion vs Challenge completion segments**

Both **Campaigns** and **Challenges** support visibility for a given **segment** or **tier**.

The key difference is segment membership timing:

* **Campaign completion**: can be limited to *completion in the last X days/weeks/months*.
* **Challenge completion**: not limited by time (member stays “completed” once they finish it).
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Fallback campaign safety (A vs D)**

If the member doesn’t complete Campaign A, they might unlock Campaign D immediately.

To avoid overlap:

* Use different conditions in A and D.
* In D, set visibility to the “completed A 0 times” segment.
* In D conditions, exclude segments for members who completed A and B.
  {% endhint %}

### “Last X days/weeks/months” examples

Examples for the field **Member completed the campaign in the last X days/weeks/months**.

{% hint style="info" %}
To include completions **only** from the current day/week/month, set **X = 0**.
