Subscriber Re-engagement Sequence Agent
Win back inactive readers and clean the rest of the list safely
What it does
Inactive subscribers drag down deliverability, but removing them too fast loses readers who might come back. Once a month this agent exports subscribers with no clicks in the inactivity window and excludes paid and recently joined subscribers. It drafts a short win-back sequence of two or three emails, suggests a segment for each, and sets up a test send. The writer approves the sequence. During the run it tracks clicks. People who click go back to the full send. If fewer than 5% re-engage, it rewrites subject lines and the offer and proposes a second round before any removal. Non-responders are then proposed for removal or a lower frequency. The writer approves every send and every removal. Edge case: paid subscribers are never proposed for removal, only flagged.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
