Control send intervals for shopper emails

Learn to control the intervals at which emails are sent to shoppers.

Updated over a week ago

Global send interval

The Contact Remarketing Pressure Interval allows you to set a period during which email sending is suppressed after a shopper has been sent an email by any type of trigger. For example, if you set it to 1440 minutes (1 day), shoppers receive only one email in any 24-hour period, regardless of how many times they add items to their cart, browse, or make a purchase. This setting affects all triggers globally.

Control send intervals by trigger type

To control the interval based on the type of trigger, you can use a script in the Advanced box of a trigger to check for previous sends. Helper functions are available to simplify this process.

The following script prevents a trigger from sending if a browse (ba) or cart (b) abandonment email has been sent to the recipient in the previous 7 days:

result.proceed = true;

if (helpers.sentInRecentMinutes(['b','ba'],10080) > 0) {

result.proceed = false;

}
  • Adjusting the interval: Change 10080 to the number of minutes you want to look back over.

  • Modifying signal types: Add or remove signal types to control which triggers the script checks.

  • Setting email limits: Adjust the script to limit the number of emails sent within the specified period.

Learn more in the Triggers section of the Help Centre.
