Explanation: This scripts uses the user_engagement() function to reference the user’s current engagement level. If their engagement level is less than 3, they’ll receive a unique, incentivizing subject line; otherwise, they’ll receive the standard subject line. Note, this particular script would disengaged (a score of 2) and dormant (a score of 1) users. Opted out/hardbounced users (a score of 0) fall into this category but do not get mailed.
