My Daily Journal Entry For December 21st, 2022
Morning Routine, General Diary, Thoughts, and Ideas
Got up quite late again, I think I need to start going to bed a little earlier. My morning routine had to be stopped in its tracks as I noticed a support request from one of my customers. The survey tool had been reported by someone to be causing an error. I tested it though and all seems to be fine. I really need more information as to how the person got the error – so I requested that they find more info for me.
Today’s post picture is of our Christmas tree.
Today is day 28 post bone marrow transplant for my son, and all still looking good. 🤞.
Feel much better about things today, so hopefully, I can complete some productive work.
Ended up spending a good chunk of today completing a government benefits form related to us caring for our sick son.

My Learnings Today
- payment system
- Part of this was covered in the last 2 days’ journal entries
- Â SaaS companies tend to use Stripe, PayLane, FastSpring, PayPal, or Paddle – we use Stripe, PayPal and GoCardless
- email automation
- Email is vital for onboarding. Need welcoming emails and other emails to communicate with the user outside of the platform. Emails move subscribers through the steps. People should sign up, log in and receive basic emails from the start.
- Transactional (or trigger) Emails
- are automatic, based on customer action. They respond to an action on the website. These emails include sign-up confirmations, account creation, billing receipts, password resets, and actions related to the account.
- Correct, timely emails are essential for converting freemium customers to paid subscriptions.
- Emails should be personalized, thoughtful, and timely. The subscription process needs to gather enough information to be able to personalize the email.
- Marketing Emails
- Transactional (or trigger) Emails
- Email is vital for onboarding. Need welcoming emails and other emails to communicate with the user outside of the platform. Emails move subscribers through the steps. People should sign up, log in and receive basic emails from the start.
