Holiday & Custom Date Automations
in progress

Adam Smith
Holiday & Custom Date Automations allow businesses to schedule client messages around holidays or other important dates. This is available through
PPC Labs
as a separate feature under Communication > Automations
.Create a client automation and select
Holiday or Custom Date
as the Event. You can then choose:- A supported Holiday, which automatically uses the correct date each year
- A Custom Date, which can occur one time or repeat every year
- Whether the message is sent before, on, or after the selected date
- All Active Clients or selected Client Segments
- All matching clients or only clients who do not already have visits scheduled on that date
For example, a business can remind clients to schedule care before a holiday while automatically excluding clients who have already booked. Custom Dates can be used for recurring seasonal reminders, annual business dates, or a one-time deadline or event.
The
Potential Audience
preview shows which clients currently match, how many already have visits scheduled, how many are missing a deliverable email address, and how many are currently eligible to receive the message. The audience, Client Segment membership, scheduled visits, and communication preferences are checked again when the automation runs.Holiday & Custom Date Automations also support Personalize, Responses, message previews, optional call-to-action buttons, and Automation Analytics.

Allow Automations to Trigger Based on Holidays

Add a Holiday option when selecting the date condition for an automation.
Suggested flow:
Automation → Event → Calendar → Holiday / Custom Date
If Holiday is selected, display another dropdown:
Select Holiday
New Year's Day
Easter
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas Eve
Christmas Day
New Year's Eve
Use Case:
This would allow businesses to create automations tied to holidays without manually updating the date every year.
For example, a business could automatically:
Send a holiday reminder to clients
Trigger holiday-specific messaging
Remind clients about holiday booking deadlines
Send instructions related to holiday scheduling or policies
