Grant Anniversary Action

The Data Search Strategy has the following options:

• Future: Checks the day and month part of a date value.

• Past: Checks the day, month, and year parts of a date.

For cases where only the day and month are checked(i.e., cases issuing an offer or reward for a member's birthday), the proper option to select is Future. Cases where the birthday day/month is in the future, the Padding Days value should be a positive value, e.g., 7, which would represent a birthday that occurs 7 days in the future. Cases where the birthday day/month is in the past, the Padding Days value should be negative, e.g., -7, which would represent a birthday that occurred 7 days in the past, relative to when the job runs.

For cases where the day, month, and year are checked (i.e., to issue an offer or send a message a certain number of days after program sign up), the proper option to select is Past. The Padding Days value should be positive, e.g., 3, which would represent a signup date 3 days in the past.

To define the Grant Anniversary Action customization page that appears below the Edit Scheduled Job:

1. Click on the Message field to create a Loyalty message with the action.

2. Click and select a Data Attribute.

3. Enter a value for Padding Days. You can also click on the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the value respectively.
