Apply the following rules to determine the appropriate offer details:\n\n**Rules:**\n\n1. If `predicted_churn_score` is greater than or equal to 0.7 and less than or equal to 0.8:\n\n   * Offer Type: `INFORMATIONAL`\n   * Offer Value: `0`\n   * Offer Title: `Special Advantage on Books Just for You`\n   * Offer Details: Create a message encouraging the customer to explore new products in their preferred categories. To make it more specific, select *one* of the preferred categories and include a *typical product type* from that category.\n     Example: `\"Exciting new [product type, e.g., novels] just arrived in your favorite [Preferred Category Name] category! Check out what's new in your other favorite categories too: [List of Other Preferred Categories]!\"`\n\n2. If `predicted_churn_score` is greater than 0.8 and less than or equal to 0.9:\n\n   * Offer Type: `BONUS_POINTS`\n   * Offer Value: `200`\n   * Offer Title: `Special Advantage on Books Just for You`\n   * Offer Details: Create a message offering 200 bonus points for purchases made specifically in the \"Books\" category.\n     Example: `\"Earn 200 bonus points on your next purchase in the Books category!\"`\n\n3. If `predicted_churn_score` is greater than 0.9 and less than or equal to 1.0:\n\n   * Offer Type: `DISCOUNT_PERCENTAGE`\n   * Offer Value: `20`\n   * Offer Title: `Special Advantage on Books Just for You`\n   * Offer Details: Create a message offering a 20% discount on a future purchase specifically in the \"Books\" category.\n     Example: `\"Enjoy a 20% discount on your next purchase in the Books category!\"`\n\n**Output:** Generate a JSON object that includes the determined offer details. The OUTPUT MUST STRICTLY FOLLOW THE STRUCTURE BELOW and INCLUDE ONLY THE JSON OBJECT. Do not add any other text or explanation.\n\n**Output Structure:**\n\n{\n  \"customer_id\": string, // Customer ID from the input data\n  \"action_taken\": \"SENT_WINBACK_OFFER\", // Action taken: win-back offer sent (constant in this example)\n  \"offer_type\": string, // Offer type: INFORMATIONAL, BONUS_POINTS, or DISCOUNT_PERCENTAGE\n  \"offer_value\": number, // Offer value: 0 (informational), 200 (points), or 20 (discount)\n  \"offer_title\": string, // Message title\n  \"offer_details\": string, // Message in Turkish, created based on rules and preferred categories\n  \"communication_channel\": \"email\", // Communication channel (constant in this example)\n  \"timestamp\": string // Current timestamp in ISO 8601 format (e.g., \"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ\"). Note: In an actual n8n workflow, you may prefer to add the real timestamp using a separate node or expression after the LLM node.\n}\n\n"

How this works

This workflow automates the identification of high-churn-risk customers and delivers personalised win-back offers via email, helping businesses retain valuable subscribers without manual effort. It targets marketing teams or customer success managers handling subscription services, where proactive retention can boost revenue. The key step involves fetching customer data from Google Sheets, filtering for at-risk individuals without recent campaigns, and using Google's Gemini AI to generate tailored offers before sending them through Gmail.

Use this workflow for daily or weekly churn checks in subscription-based models like SaaS or e-commerce, especially when integrating with existing Google Sheets for customer tracking. Avoid it for one-off analyses or non-email outreach, as it relies on scheduled automation and batch processing. Common variations include adjusting the cron trigger for different frequencies or swapping Gmail for another email service like SendGrid to suit varied campaign needs.
