Subject
Update billing before {{next_charge_date}}Hi {{client_first_name}},
The payment method for your {{membership_name}} membership ends in {{card_last_four}} and is set to expire in {{expiry_month}}. Your next scheduled charge of {{charge_amount}} is on {{next_charge_date}}.
You can update the payment method now through {{processor_name}}: {{secure_update_link}}
The secure page replaces the stored method before the charge runs. We will never ask you to send card details by email, text, or reply.
If the membership is changing, you asked to cancel, or this account information is not correct, reply to {{coordinator_name}} or call {{phone_number}} so we can review it before the charge date.

- Reconcile the source record, eligibility, consent, exclusions, owner, and required variables.
- Send the template with one action and record the exact version, event, and delivery state.
- Stop conflicting automation, route replies to the owner, and update the downstream stage after resolution.
Stop conditions
- Stop on reply, opt-out, human handling, complaint, dispute, or safety escalation.
- Stop when the action completes, the source record changes, or the recipient becomes ineligible.
- Stop on a higher-priority workflow, cancellation, account closure, or expired timing window.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Sending from a stale or incomplete source record
The recipient may receive an unavailable offer, wrong status, or unsupported consequence.
Use instead: Reconcile required fields and fail closed when any material value is missing.
- Letting automation continue after the recipient responds
A later message can contradict the human conversation or resolved state.
Use instead: Make replies, resolution, disputes, and human handling immediate global stops.
