Step 3 — Audience, schedule & filters

  1. Use Registration date if you want only customers registered within a specific range.
  2. Send time: choose a morning time (e.g., 8:00–10:00 AM) so customers can act the same day.

Best practices

  • Short window, strong CTA. “Book today” + clear code.
  • Limit validity. Make the code valid for same-day only to create urgency.
  • Test thresholds & send time. Try 70–85% and adjust the morning send time for best fill rates.
