About

## When to send it

Send it a few days before a trial ends. It gives the end date and the days left, explains in one line what happens to the account afterwards, and makes doing nothing an acceptable answer.

7 values to fill

## What each send fills in

Required values have to come with every send. The rest fall back to the default shown here.

| `{{endDate}}` | Text | Required | None |
| `{{daysLeft}}` | Text | Optional | 3 |
| `{{whatHappensNext}}` | Text | Optional | Your account stays open and your data is kept. You just lose the paid features until you choose a plan. |
| `{{actionUrl}}` | Link | Required | None |
