Milestone celebration email

Crossing a tier sends one branded email to the account's owner and admins — confetti, the number in large type, what it means for their business, and the next tier.

What it is

A designed email rather than a notification. A confetti row, the tier word and category in small caps, the category emoji at 64px, the number at 56px, then a short gratitude message naming the company and what the milestone means. A 'Next up' box names the following tier, or, at the top of a ladder, says 'You've reached the top of this ladder. We'll build a taller one.'

Also called: congratulations email · milestone email · thank you email · you hit 100 estimates

The email: confetti row, '📐' at 64px, '100' at 56px, 'estimates sent — as of today', the gratitude paragraph, a 'Next up: 500' box and a teal 'See your milestones' button. renderAchievementEmail in achievements.ts. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1Only the highest newly-reached tier per category is emailed; lower tiers crossed in the same run are recorded quietly.
  2. 2Recipients are the account's owner and admins, resolved from the member list.
  3. 3The email renders through the platform brand layout and the notified timestamp is stamped after sending.
  4. 4A send failure is caught so it never blocks the award being recorded.
Why we built it

The copy in the email is the argument: 'The platform is what it is today because builders like you run real work through it every day and tell us what needs to be better — so this one's on you, and we're grateful for your business.' The one-email-per-category rule exists so a busy month does not produce a stream of near-identical messages.

The problem
  • Vendor communication was entirely transactional.
  • Naive milestone systems spam on every threshold.
Sound familiar?
What you get
A real moment of recognition, at most once per category per crossing.
The next target is named, so the ladder keeps pulling.
