Reminders

Introduction

LUCY allows administrators to configure reminders within a campaign to ensure recipients engage with the content. This feature is particularly useful for reminding users who have not interacted with the campaign as expected.

Starting in Lucy version 5.1, campaign reminder settings are included in campaign templates.
