Template Body

{{firstName}}, quick question about your trial
Hi {{firstName}},

I saw your trial activity stopped 48 hours ago. Most automotive parts Plant Managers who pause trials tell us one of three things:

1. **Unplanned downtime firefighting** - Every stop burns $50K-$120K because maintenance gets alerts too late
2. **PPAP documentation drag** - Teams lose 3-4 days per submission stitching photos and torque data from email threads

We helped Denso's brake plant cut idle time 28% and reclaim 18 hours per week by wiring Optifai alerts into their tier-1 dashboards.

Can I show you a 15-minute demo of how we solve this specifically for automotive parts?

P.S. Here's how Toyota's Tier 1 stamping supplier dropped scrap from 14% to 9% in 60 days: /kits/manufacturing-kit/

Usage Tips

  • 1Trigger exactly 48 hours after last activity - reactivation drops 45% after 72 hours.
  • 2Reference the specific module they last viewed (e.g., Stamping Line OEE) to prove attention.
  • 3A/B test '$50K downtime' vs. 'trial rescue' in subject line and log in deliverability tracker.
  • 4If no reply in 24h, forward to AE with one-line maintenance backlog update.
  • 5Embed {{calendarLink}} as both plain text and hyperlink for mobile tap-through.

Example Use Cases

Scenario

A semiconductor equipment company

Implementation Code

Code samples to integrate this template into your application.

// Track trial user activity
async function updateTrialActivity(userId, activityType) {
  const lastActivity = new Date().toISOString();

  // Update local database
  await db.users.update({
    where: { id: userId },
    data: {
      last_activity: lastActivity,
      activity_count: { increment: 1 }
    }
  });

  // Send to Optifai
  await fetch('https://api.optif.ai/v1/signals', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + API_KEY
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      event: 'trial_activity',
      user_id: userId,
      timestamp: lastActivity,
      metadata: {
        activity_type: activityType,
        trial_day: calculateTrialDay(userId)
      }
    })
  });
}

// Check for inactive trials (run daily)
async function checkInactiveTrials() {
  const inactiveUsers = await db.users.findMany({
    where: {
      trial_status: 'active',
      last_activity: {
        lt: new Date(Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) // 7 days ago
      }
    }
  });

  for (const user of inactiveUsers) {
    await fetch('https://api.optif.ai/v1/signals', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + API_KEY
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        event: 'trial_inactive',
        user_id: user.id,
        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        metadata: {
          last_active_days: calculateDaysSince(user.last_activity),
          trial_days_remaining: calculateTrialDaysRemaining(user)
        }
      })
    });
  }
}
