Replace three transactional emails with a behaviour-triggered lifecycle sequence planned and built by Claude Code agents

A launched SaaS had trial-to-paid conversion of about 8 to 12% because the only emails were welcome, password reset and payment receipt.

A custom command ran in two phases. In the design phase an agent produced an email brief and a 17-email plan which the author approved. In the build phase six agents built shared layouts and six sequences in parallel: welcome, activation nudge, feature education, upgrade prompt, churn prevention and win-back. Templates are React components, background jobs wait for specific user events, each sequence checks the database before the next send and stops if the user already upgraded, win-back copy uses loss framing, and triggers use events the app already fires.

The author reports trial-to-paid conversion rising from 12% to 22% over six weeks and monthly churn falling from 8% to 4.8%, with lower support volume that was not quantified.

There is no control group, so the lift cannot be credited to the emails alone. The starting conversion is given as 8% in one place and 12% in another, cohort sizes, pricing and open and unsubscribe rates are missing, and the research statistics cited have no sources. The author sells the tool that contains this command, so the post is promotional. The page does not show a year.

A SaaS with event hooks and a background job system, Claude Code, and a transactional email provider. Costs are not stated.
