Catch churn-risk signals in Email
Turn the small signals — a downgrade, a usage drop, a support spike — into one scored alert that reaches the account owner while there's still time to act.

the event
You emit churn.signal with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.

emit it
From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";
await ingest("churn.signal", {
customer_id: account.id,
signal: "usage-drop",
score: risk,
mrr: account.mrr,
});route it to Email
Send a transactional email to one or more recipients, addressable from event fields.
- 01
set the recipient
Enter a fixed address, or reference an event field like $event.payload.email to route per event.
- 02
write subject and body
Both accept $event.* templates. The body renders as plain text with an optional summary table of the payload.
- 03
confirm the sender
Mail goes out from mail@notify.ingestlayer.com with SPF and DKIM aligned. Set a reply-to if you want responses to reach you.

notes
- Outbound email is metered against a monthly quota that scales with your plan; over-quota sends are deferred, not dropped.
- Sending from a fixed ingestlayer domain keeps deliverability high, but the From address is not your own domain.
- Recipient addresses pulled from event fields are validated at send time; a malformed address dead-letters that delivery.
questions
- Can I tune how sensitive the alert is?
- Adjust the score threshold in the filter. Raise it for only the clearest risks, lower it to catch more early.
- Who gets the alert?
- enrich.entity attaches the CSM and renewal date, so the warning reaches the person who can actually save the account.
- Can I combine several signals?
- Emit each signal as it happens and dedupe by customer in a window, so one at-risk account is one alert, not three.
