Designs automated email and SMS programs — welcome and onboarding sequences, nurture, re-engagement, transactional messaging, and the timing and segmentation behind them. Use this to build or fix an email sequence, plan lifecycle automation, improve open or click performance, set up SMS flows, or decide what messages a customer should receive and when.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Lifecycle messaging

## Map the lifecycle before writing any message

For each stage, name what the person is trying to do and what would move them forward. Messages
written without that answer become announcements, and announcements get unsubscribed from.

The stages that matter: just signed up, activated but not habitual, habitual, at risk, lapsed.
Most programs over-invest in the first and neglect at-risk entirely, which is where the money is.

## The welcome sequence

The highest-engagement messages you will ever send. Do not waste them on company history.

1. **Immediate** — deliver whatever was promised, plus the single next action.
2. **Within days** — the fastest route to first value, one step.
3. **After that** — the use case most people miss, or the objection most people have.

Set expectations early: what you send, how often. It reduces unsubscribes more than any subject-line
technique.

## Timing and cadence

Trigger on behavior, not the calendar, wherever possible. A message sent because someone did
something is many times more relevant than one sent because it is Tuesday.

Cadence sustainable at your worst week. Every message should be one the recipient would miss.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/lifecycle-messaging@sha256:e7d07d1e2a232a6c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
