Anniversary Send
What it is
An Anniversary action mails each recipient ahead of their anniversary date every year. Common uses include home purchase anniversaries, policy anniversaries, renewal milestones, and customer lifecycle touchpoints.
Before you start
- Confirm recipients in your mailing list include an
anniversaryfield with valid dates. - Make a creative with both a front and a message for your milestone messaging.
How to set up an Anniversary action
- Go to Campaigns in the sidebar, open the campaign (the mailing list) you want to mail, and click Add action.
- Who: confirm the mailing list.
- What: pick your creative, or use Separate front & message.
- When: under On each recipient's date, choose Anniversary. Cards are mailed 10 days before each recipient's anniversary.
- Review: name the action, then click Start action (and confirm) or Save paused.
- On the campaign's page, use the action's menu → Preview to see how the next card will print.
Tips & best practices
- Personalize copy with merge fields like
%FIRST_NAME%and%ADDRESS%when relevant. - Set up the action at least 2 weeks ahead of the first anniversaries you want to catch.
- Keep message copy timeless so it can run year after year with minimal edits.
Limits & gotchas
- Duplicate Prevention still applies.
- Missing or invalid
anniversaryvalues prevent recipient-level triggering. - Anniversary actions recur every year once started; they do not need to be set up again each year.
