Straight answer
A real trigger or stage change exists.
Best fit
Gyms: An active member has crossed a defined no-visit window after complete attendance reconciliation, with no open account or service case.
Conditional fit
Relevant CRM event or stage change; stop on reply, booking, stage change, or opt-out.
Main tradeoff
The member may want to return but current class times, account friction, access uncertainty, or changed circumstances make the next visit hard to choose.
When To Use This Campaign Type
Use this campaign type when a specific business moment creates a clear next action. The email should match the trigger, address the recipient's likely objection, and stop once the recipient replies or completes the next step.
