How to Use PostSheet for Re-Engaging Inactive Users with Personal Nudges

You worked hard to get that signup.
They tried your product, maybe even loved it… but then they disappeared.

Don’t write them off just yet.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can send personalized re-engagement emails to inactive users that feel like a 1:1 check-in — not a generic blast.

These aren’t cold leads. They’re warm(ish). They just need the right nudge.

Here’s how to bring them back.

🔄 Why Re-Engagement Works (When It’s Personal)

Inactive users are often just:

✅ Busy
✅ Distracted
✅ Confused
✅ Unaware of what’s new

A thoughtful message that says “Hey, we noticed” can:

✅ Reignite interest
✅ Drive logins or actions
✅ Lead to upgrades
✅ Prevent silent churn

It’s one of the highest-ROI campaigns you can run — if it’s done right.

📋 Step 1: Build Your Inactive User Tracker in Google Sheets

Start by exporting users who haven’t logged in or engaged in a while.

Optional: churn risk score, segment, trial end date, role

✉️ Step 2: Write a Personal-Looking Nudge in PostSheet

Make it feel like a quick check-in from a human.

Example:

Subject: Want to pick up where you left off?

Hi {{Name}},

We noticed you haven’t been active in a bit — totally get it, life’s busy!

Since {{Last Activity Date}}, we’ve rolled out a few improvements that could be helpful for your {{Use Case}} workflows.

Tone: friendly, helpful, low-pressure.

🚀 Step 3: Send a Re-Engagement Campaign with PostSheet

  1. Filter your sheet by inactivity window (e.g., “No login in 30+ days”)
  2. Connect to PostSheet
  3. Map fields like {{Last Activity Date}}, {{Use Case}}, {{Custom Nudge Message}}
  4. Preview messages — add a few personal touches if needed
  5. Send or schedule

Then tag each row with “Nudge Sent” and track replies or reactivations.

🔁 Bonus: Follow Up if They Don’t Engage

Use the same sheet to run:

  • Second Nudge: “Still interested?” or “Need a hand getting restarted?”
  • Offer Incentive: “Here’s a 20% off upgrade if you return”
  • Last Call: “We’ll archive your account in 7 days — want to keep it?”
  • Update: “Here’s what’s new since you left”

Just add a Follow-Up Stage column and re-run filtered campaigns as needed.

🧠 Re-Engagement Use Cases
