Turn First-Time Buyers into Regulars — Automatically

Adaptive watches your Square transactions and sends personalized follow-ups: a thank-you after the first visit, and loyalty offers when customers keep coming back.

I own a hair salon and I want to send a thank-you email after someone's first appointment. Right now I have no idea who's new and who's a regular.

I can handle that. Let me connect to your Square account — I'll use the customer directory to track new versus returning clients.

Great. Send new customers a thank-you email the day after their first visit. Something warm, not salesy. And for anyone who comes back a third time, send them a 15% off coupon.

Got it. First-timers get a warm thank-you email 24 hours after their appointment. On their third visit, they automatically get a 15% discount code. I'll draft both email templates so you can see the tone — you can tweak them before they go live.

Love it. Can you also let me know in Slack when a customer who hasn't visited in 60 days makes a booking? I'd want to give them extra attention.

Done. When someone returns after 60+ days, I'll post their name and visit history to your #vip-returns channel in Slack so you or your team can give them a personal welcome back.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about customer thank-you & repeat visit automation.

Adaptive connects to your Square POS and detects new customers automatically. It sends a personalized thank-you email after the first purchase and triggers loyalty offers at visit milestones you define. Everything runs in the background — you just approve the email templates once.

The most effective approach is automated, milestone-based outreach. Adaptive tracks each customer's visit history from Square and sends the right message at the right time — a thank-you after the first visit, a discount after the third, a personal touch when someone returns after a long absence. It costs nothing extra and requires no CRM.

Yes. Adaptive connects to your Square POS and triggers email automations based on purchase events — first-time visits, repeat purchases, spending milestones, or return visits after a dormant period. You control the rules and approve all email content before it sends.

No. Adaptive uses your existing Square customer directory and transaction history as the data source. It tracks new versus returning customers, visit frequency, and purchase history automatically. You get CRM-level automation without paying for or managing a separate CRM tool.

Adaptive monitors your Square data and can alert you when a dormant customer returns, or proactively send a win-back email after a period of inactivity you define. For example, "if someone hasn't visited in 90 days, email them a 20% comeback offer." You set the rules in plain English.
