People also ask
Q.What category is a re-engagement message?
Always Marketing — the customer hasn't messaged you in 24+ hours, so the Service window is closed. Requires an approved Marketing template and a valid prior opt-in.
Q.When is a customer 'dormant'?
Typical thresholds: 30 days no purchase (e-commerce), 60 days no app open (SaaS), 14 days no support reply (services). LandinChat ships pre-built dormant segments.
Q.What's a winning re-engagement sequence?
Three touches over 14 days. Touch 1: 'We miss you' + soft incentive. Touch 2: 'Last chance' + bigger incentive. Touch 3: Opt-down ask — respect the user and protect deliverability.
Q.What incentive lifts win-back the most?
20–30% off + free shipping for e-commerce; 1 month free for SaaS; in-app credit for marketplaces. Personal codes outperform generic 2x on redemption.
Q.Does re-engagement hurt my quality rating?
Only if you spam. Respect opt-out, cap to 3 touches, segment to true dormants (not active customers), and Meta's quality score stays green. Block list opt-outs strictly.
Q.Can I auto-trigger from Shopify / HubSpot inactivity?
Yes — native daily sync flags contacts crossing the dormancy threshold and enrolls them in the 3-touch sequence automatically.
Why WhatsApp wins back dormant customers 3x better than email
Dormant customers ignore email — open rate on a 30+ day inactive segment is typically under 10%. The same audience on WhatsApp opens at 95%+ because the channel itself is high-attention and personal.
The winning sequence is 3 touches over 14 days, each with a stronger incentive and a clean opt-out. Touch 1 is 'we miss you' + soft incentive. Touch 2 is 'last chance' + bigger incentive. Touch 3 is an explicit opt-down ask — protects quality rating and respects user choice.
LandinChat ships pre-built dormancy segments, Marketing templates per touch, personal code generation, native opt-out handling, and Shopify / HubSpot auto-enrollment on the inactivity threshold.
