About This Automation

Churn and cancellation save flows review a customer's account and stated reason before presenting a retention offer. Handling this manually slows response times and leads to inconsistent offers across customers.

An automated version analyzes account value and cancellation reason to select the right offer, then sends it and tracks the reply. This speeds up retention outreach and keeps outcome reporting accurate and consistent.

Key features:
Analyzes account value and tenure automatically to determine retention offer eligibility.
Generates personalized save offers based on cancellation reason and account history.
Sends offers and tracks customer responses without manual inbox monitoring.
Updates billing records and applies discounts or processes cancellations automatically.
Logs outcomes and reason codes into churn reports without extra data entry.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Cancellation Request Detectedtrigger

Customer submits a cancellation or the billing portal, which starts the flow automatically.

2. Pull Billing Data

Pulls plan, tenure, and payment history to assess account value.

3. Determine Best Retention Offer

Scores the cancellation reason and account value against retention rules to select a discount, pause, or downgrade offer.

4. Send Offer

For standard-value accounts, sends the personalized save offer automatically.

5. Escalate To Support

High-value or ambiguous cases route to a support instead of auto-sending an offer.

6. Log Outcome

Records whether the offer was sent, escalated, or accepted on the customer's record.

7. Update Subscription

Applies the accepted discount code or processes the cancellation directly.

8. Update Churn Tracking Sheet

Appends the final outcome and reason code to the churn reporting sheet.
