Email alerts
Configure automated email alerts for segments of customers.
This guide will help you configure automated email alerts for a segment of customers. A segment of customers share certain common attributes. For example, you may segment your customers based on the following criteria:
- pay by card
- pay using Stripe
- live in a particular geography
You can configure automated email alerts based on events. For example, you can send email alerts reminding the customer of:
- the approaching due date in the event of generation of an invoice
- an overdue payment in the event of passing of the due date
