FAQs about the birthday email automation template

1.

How can I collect and store subscriber birthdays in Sender?

Sender lets you collect birthdays by adding a date field to your signup forms or preference center, then storing each one in a custom contact field. Once saved, you can use that field to automatically trigger a birthday email automation every year. You can also run a quick campaign inviting existing subscribers to add their birthday in exchange for a small perk.

2.

Can I add a birthday discount or special offer in Sender’s automation?

Yes, Sender allows you to include discount codes, free shipping, or special offers in your birthday emails to make the occasion feel rewarding. You can personalize each message with dynamic fields like the subscriber’s name and add a clear expiry date to create gentle urgency. This makes the offer feel timely and encourages subscribers to act before it runs out.

3.

Can I set up more than one birthday email in Sender?

Yes, with Sender you can build an automation that sends a birthday greeting on the day, followed by a reminder a few days later. Using conditions, you can send the reminder only to subscribers who haven’t claimed their gift yet, and adjust the delay between emails to match how long your offer stays valid. This helps you re-engage people who missed the first message without over-emailing.
