# Email & SMS

> Templates and guidance for lifecycle marketers and CRM teams. Start here to announce HSA/FSA acceptance, add Flex to your flows, and drive conversion.

<Note>
  Duplicate and edit the Flex Email Templates Figma file [here](https://www.figma.com/design/Rmd3ww8aRI0e5yPoncp7XE/Flex-Email-Templates?node-id=4005-16\&t=mwlgM6BpUUXtD67m-1).
</Note>

Email and SMS are your highest-leverage channels for HSA/FSA adoption — they reach customers who already know your brand and just need a reason to act. The sections below cover what to send at launch, how to weave Flex into ongoing flows, and ready-to-use copy for every touchpoint.

</Frame>

<Info>
  **When to send:** The day you enable Flex. This is your official announcement — send it to your full list.
</Info>

### What to communicate

* You now accept HSA/FSA payments at checkout
* Eligible products can be purchased with pre-tax dollars
* Customers may save up to 30–40% depending on their tax rate
* Checkout is simple — just select Flex

### Subject lines

| Angle       | Subject line                                 |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Benefit-led | You can now use your HSA/FSA here            |
| Savings-led | Pay with HSA/FSA & save on eligible products |
| Action-led  | Use pre-tax dollars on your purchase         |

<div style={{borderRadius: '0.75rem', overflow: 'hidden', marginBottom: '1.5rem', maxWidth: '280px', margin: '0 auto 1.5rem auto'}}>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flex-87/HM0YLWYPfkFZgncc/images/marketing/general/launchemail.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HM0YLWYPfkFZgncc&q=85&s=61a38aadcd11471e44b42e001925c679" alt="Launch email template example" style={{width: '100%', borderRadius: '0.75rem'}} width="249" height="554" data-path="images/marketing/general/launchemail.png" />
</div>

### Templates

Choose the template that matches how your products are eligible.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Always Eligible">
    Use this if your products are directly HSA/FSA eligible — no consultation required.

    ```
    Subject: You can now pay with your HSA/FSA at [COMPANY NAME]

    Headline: You Can Now Use Your HSA/FSA

    Body:
    We've partnered with Flex to make it easier to shop [PRODUCT NAME]
    using your HSA or FSA card — no additional paperwork required.

    That means you can use pre-tax dollars on qualifying purchases —
    potentially saving up to 30–40% depending on your tax rate.

    How it works:
    1. Add eligible items to your cart
    2. Choose Flex | Pay with HSA/FSA at checkout
    3. Enter your HSA or FSA card to complete your purchase

    [Insert image of checkout page]

    CTA: Shop Now →
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="LMN">
    Use this if your products require a Letter of Medical Necessity (e.g., wellness or personal care items). Customers complete a brief telehealth consult through Flex.

    ```
    Subject: Use your HSA/FSA at [COMPANY NAME] — if you qualify

    Headline: Your HSA/FSA Dollars Go Further Here

    Body:
    We've partnered with Flex to enable eligible customers to purchase
    [PRODUCT NAME] using their HSA or FSA card.

    How it works:
    1. Add qualifying items to your cart
    2. Choose Flex | Pay with HSA/FSA at checkout
    3. Complete a brief telehealth consult to confirm eligibility
    4. Enter your HSA/FSA card (or another method) and submit for reimbursement
    5. Receive your Letter of Medical Necessity and itemized receipt by email

    [Insert image of checkout page]

    CTA: Learn More →
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## 2. Evergreen & Lifecycle Email

<Info>
  **When to use:** After launch, Flex messaging should live inside your existing flows — not as standalone sends. A callout block or a single sentence is enough.
</Info>

### Where to add it

* Welcome and onboarding emails
* Product spotlight and new arrival announcements
* Sale and bundle promotions
* Post-purchase and replenishment flows

### Copy blocks

Add either of these into any email where the product is eligible:

```
Option A:
HSA/FSA eligible — Use your pre-tax dollars and save up to 30–40%
on qualifying purchases.
 
Option B:
Eligible for HSA/FSA — Pay with pre-tax funds at checkout.
```

## 3. Triggered Emails

<div style={{borderRadius: '0.75rem', overflow: 'hidden', marginBottom: '1.5rem', maxWidth: '280px', margin: '0 auto 1.5rem auto'}}>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flex-87/HM0YLWYPfkFZgncc/images/marketing/general/Email2.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HM0YLWYPfkFZgncc&q=85&s=7a81808901dffbb4ba559a8dda299939" alt="Triggered email example" style={{width: '100%', borderRadius: '0.75rem'}} width="249" height="554" data-path="images/marketing/general/Email2.png" />
</div>

<Tip>
  Add Flex to flows you already have — don't build new ones. These are the highest-converting touchpoints because the customer is already engaged.
</Tip>

### Abandoned cart

```
Subject: Still thinking it over?
 
Body:
Don't forget — this item may be eligible for HSA/FSA payment.
Use pre-tax dollars at checkout and save up to 30–40%.
 
CTA: Complete your purchase →
```

### Post-purchase education

```
Subject: Did you know?
 
Body:
Many of our products are HSA/FSA eligible.
Look for the eligibility badge on product pages next time you shop.
 
CTA: See eligible products →
```

### Subscription reminder

```
Body:
Eligible subscriptions can also be paid with HSA/FSA funds.
Use your pre-tax dollars before they expire.
 
CTA: Manage your subscription →
```

## 4. SMS

Keep SMS short and lead with the benefit. One message, one action.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Launch">
    ```
    We now accept HSA/FSA payments with Flex. Use
    pre-tax dollars on eligible products at checkout.
    [link]
    ```
  </Card>

  <Card title="Savings-focused">
    ```
    Save up to 30–40% using your pre-tax HSA/FSA
    funds on qualifying purchases. [link]
    ```
  </Card>

  <Card title="Product spotlight">
    ```
    This item may be HSA/FSA eligible. Shop now
    and use your health funds at checkout. [link]
    ```
  </Card>

  <Card title="Abandoned cart">
    ```
    Still thinking it over? You can use HSA/FSA
    funds on eligible products. [link]
    ```
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Best practices

* Send at least one standalone campaign to announce your launch with Flex
* Add Flex to your welcome, post-purchase, and abandoned cart flows — even a single line makes a difference
* Subject lines that name HSA/FSA directly outperform generic ones
* Link to your landing page or eligible product collection — not your homepage
* Use checkout screenshots or eligibility badges as visuals — they reduce friction and build trust
