How to enter former profiles within the "1st Anniversary" flow

@bluesnapper - thanks for the explanation, it definitely makes sense! I think we are just getting our wires crossed, haha!

If the segment I was envisioning worked correctly, it would pull in everyone who made a purchase 366 days before “today”. (366 b/c of leap day) Of course, the customers who were added the day it is created would not go in the flow. But tomorrow, when the original customers no longer qualify, and customers are pulled in who made a purchase 366 days before “today” (which is now tomorrow), then they would go through the flow. I have screen shots of my idea and what it returns, using the Birthday field, since I don’t have a First Purchase date in my account.

Here are the results:

Here is my profile with a (fake) birthday of 2023-05-02

What I don’t understand is why the other record (United - MW Newsletter) is in the segment, when the Birthday for that profile is 2023-05-03. It is another test account that I use.

So, perhaps this approach doesn’t work, either. Sigh….Well, I tried! 😂

Thank you for your help, @bluesnapper and @retention!

@mrosique - Good luck, and I hope Joseph’s idea can help you!

Thanks to all! Amazing community.

You are right @retention, your suggestion isn’t as snazzy as sending it on the actual date, but we are talking about First Order rather than Birthday, so may seem strange to receive and email saying “Happy Birthday” on June 1st when you were born on June 23rd 😁 However, if someone receive an email saying “Congrats! Happy 1st Order Anniversary!” on June 1st, nobody remember when was the actual date when they bought in my store. 

We provide an exceptional customer experience, but I don’t think my clients will remember the first time they purchased in my store just like they remember their birthdate 😂😂😂

Ok, so I am going to implement the suggestion of @retention , therefore, Must I create a segment for each month? How to define th flow?

Or Must I create a flow for each month?

Thanks!! Thanks @JessFosnough for your interest!

Your solution works perfectly ​@JessFosnough!  I don’t know why other people are saying it won’t.

For reference, here’s the segment I created (below) and each day new users are being automatically inserted into my flow triggered by this segment on their 1 year anniversary).  Great idea - Don’t be so quick to accept all these men telling you that you’re wrong!

​@garethowen,

Awesome! So glad my idea was helpful to you - thank you for letting me know! :-)
