Workflows: A Brief Overview of Nudges
The Default Nudge
Hi {{first_name}},
{% if nudge.n < 4 %}
This is a friendly reminder to complete steps assigned to you.
{% elsif nudge.n < 7 %}
Your window to complete your assigned steps is closing soon. This is your {{nudge.ord}} reminder. Please complete these steps as soon as you can.
{% else %}
This is your FINAL reminder to complete steps assigned to you.
{% endif %}
Thank you! Here is your link.

Note that these nudges are NOT necessarily "best practice". This is simply the initial default nudge message that is generated on a Wait Trigger. By default, the first nudge message, "This is a friendly reminder to complete steps assigned to you", is the only nudge that will go out. This is the case because there are only 3 default nudges set, and the first "if" statement is the only one that will run.
Nudge Body Explained

Purpose: Greets the user by their first name.

: A variable placeholder that dynamically inserts the recipient's first name into the email.
{% if nudge.n < 4 %}
Condition: Starts a conditional block that checks if the number of nudges sent (
nudge.n
) is less than 4.Use case: This is the early stage of reminders (e.g., first through third).
This is a friendly reminder to complete steps assigned to you.
Message: Shown when
nudge.n
is less than 4. It’s a gentle prompt to take action.Tone: Friendly and non-urgent.
{% elsif nudge.n < 7 %}
Condition: This is the “else if” block; it checks if the nudge count is less than 7 (but not less than 4).

Intent: Indicates increasing urgency.
Your window to complete your assigned steps is closing soon. This is your {{nudge.ord}} reminder. Please complete these steps as soon as you can.

{{nudge.ord}}
: Inserts the ordinal version of the reminder count (e.g., "4th", "5th").
{% else %}

nudge.n >= 7
.Meaning: This is the last warning or message in the sequence.
This is your FINAL reminder to complete steps assigned to you.
