[back to the top](https://help.sierrainteractive.com/helpcenter/advanced-e-alert-strategies-for-nurturing-and-reactivating-leads#top) --- ### Best Practices - Refresh E-Alert criteria periodically for long-term contacts so the content doesn't feel repetitive. - Narrow filters when an E-Alert feels too generic — tighter criteria reads as more personal. - Match E-Alert frequency to lead temperature: hot leads can handle more frequent sends, passive leads should get less. - Review a lead's communication history occasionally to see whether they're engaging with alerts before increasing outreach elsewhere. --- ### Troubleshooting Common Issues - **Leads stop opening E-alerts over time.** Refresh the criteria periodically or adjust frequency to avoid fatigue. - **E-alert feels too generic.** Narrow your filters and use tag-specific setups for more personalization. - **E-alerts aren’t triggering for new leads.** Make sure Auto-create E-alert is enabled in your Lead Routing Rules.
