Customer journey builder designed for telecom operators

Orchestrate subscriber lifecycle journeys from onboarding to renewal

Stop reacting to subscriber issues after the fact. With Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder, telecom operators can design proactive, automated communication flows that guide subscribers through every stage of their lifecycle.

  • Visual drag-and-drop canvas: Build complete subscriber journeys without coding. Map out onboarding sequences, upsell paths, payment reminder flows, and retention campaigns in a single screen
  • Telecom-specific triggers: Start journeys based on events like DataCapReached, ContractExpiringSoon, RoamingActivated, or MissedPayment to respond to subscriber behavior in real time
  • Multi-path branching: Create different journey branches for prepaid vs. postpaid subscribers, high-value vs. at-risk segments, and new activations vs. long-term customers

So you can move from reactive, one-off campaigns to always-on lifecycle orchestration that keeps subscribers engaged and reduces churn before it starts.

Drive plan upgrades and cross-sell with data-driven journeys

Turn subscriber usage data into revenue opportunities. Build automated upgrade paths that present the right offer at the right moment based on actual subscriber behavior.

  • Usage-based upsell triggers: Automatically enroll subscribers who approach data caps or exceed plan limits into upgrade journeys with personalized plan recommendations
  • 5G migration campaigns: Guide eligible subscribers through 5G benefits, coverage details, and device compatibility in multi-step journeys tailored to their location and current plan
  • Add-on service flows: Recommend international roaming packages, family plan additions, or premium content bundles based on individual usage profiles and lifecycle stage

Which means you can increase ARPU systematically by presenting upgrade options at the moment subscribers are most likely to act, rather than relying on generic mass campaigns.

Automate payment collection across channels

Reduce late payments and involuntary disconnections with multi-channel payment reminder journeys that escalate automatically based on subscriber response.

  • Progressive reminder sequences: Start with gentle in-app nudges, then follow up with push notifications, SMS, and email as due dates approach
  • Prepaid top-up flows: Trigger balance alerts and inline top-up prompts when prepaid subscribers’ balances run low, reducing service interruptions
  • Channel fallback logic: Check subscriber reachability before sending and automatically switch to an alternative channel if the primary one fails to deliver

So you can recover more revenue with fewer manual interventions while keeping subscribers connected and satisfied.

Prevent churn with predictive retention journeys

Identify at-risk subscribers before they leave and engage them with personalized retention offers through automated journeys.

  • Behavioral churn signals: Monitor usage pattern changes, declining app engagement, contract expiration dates, and competitive offer exposure to flag at-risk subscribers automatically
  • Tiered retention workflows: Build escalating retention journeys that start with value reminders and loyalty rewards, then progress to personalized win-back offers for high-value subscribers
  • A/B/n testing: Compare different retention offers, message timing, and channel combinations within the same journey to find what keeps subscribers loyal

Which means you can reduce churn proactively rather than reacting after subscribers have already decided to leave.
