Messages that send themselves: an overview

1. Open Notify from the sidebar.

2. Choose the Automations tab.

Under Automated Push Triggers there is one row for each message that can send itself. Nothing there is on until you switch it on.

• Thank you for keeping my card: once, to each phone that adds your card to its home screen or adds your wallet pass. See A thank-you when someone saves your card.
• Follow-up after we meet: up to three messages, on the day, two days later and a week later, to someone who sends you the Stay in touch form. See The day 0, 2 and 7 series.
• A message on a date: one message to everyone who allowed notifications, at a time you pick. See Scheduled sends, events and holiday greetings.
• When we have not spoken in a while: a hello after 30 quiet days, and another after 60. See A nudge after 30 or 60 quiet days.
• After an event: one note, the next morning, to the phones that got your card from an event's QR code. See Scheduled sends, events and holiday greetings.
• When my details change: a note about your new number, job title or company, written for you and waiting until you send it. See The "my details changed" message.
• Greetings at the holidays you pick: one greeting on each holiday you tick. See Scheduled sends, events and holiday greetings.

Opening one

Tap a row to open it. Each row shows what it says, what starts it, how long it waits, and a pill: Active, Paused or Waiting. A message on a date and the note about your changed details go once; after that their pill says what happened: Going out, Sent, Partly sent or Not sent, with a line giving the reason, such as not enough credits.

For the first three, you write the words yourself, tick Switched on and press Save. The other four come with their words already written, three ways of saying each one: you read them under What it says, tick the box and press Save. See Why an automation has more than one wording.

To stop one, untick the box and press Save. The thank-you and the follow-up series also have a Switch off button. Anyone part way through does not get the rest, even if you switch it on again later.

Switching one on, the first time or again later, starts from that moment. The thank-you, the follow-up series and the note after an event reach only the people who arrive after you switch them on: nobody who came while it was off is picked up.

What they cost

Each one costs one credit for every person it reaches, taken when it goes out, the same as a message you type. The same daily rule applies too. See How often can one person hear from me?.

They run only while your plan is active: while it has lapsed, nothing sends itself. Messages that send themselves are part of Pro, which is $0.99 a month.
