Can anyone help?

I would like to be able to reset a contacts lead points to 0 if they have not been active for a period of time (3months)

I can create a segment filter that will pull in contacts with no activity in the last 3 months

the question I have is:

I know I can add the contacts to a campaign and add a minus figure to the contact points but as each contact will have a different value for the lead points adding a minus figure might not put the figure back to zero and could even produce a minus figure.

Any ideas?

I think I have worked it out.

Run a campaign and instead of using the action adjust lead points I used the update contact and in there you can set the value to zero.

I am finding that if a lead has -30 points, for example, that it takes forever for the lead to reach marketing qualified (45 points) even though they have a lot of recent activity on the site. Not sure the best way to approach this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to reset the points of all contacts at once? Or at least the contacts that I select? I have many contacts and, having changed the strategy, I need to reset the points for most of them.

Hello,

Today you cannot set negative points due to inactivity from point triggers/actions (we are working on it at Webmecanik, we’ll share it with community afterwards as always).  
Nevertheless, i think you can achieve it with segmentation and campaigns:

1. Segment with date last active \< your date
2. Campaign on this segment with Action to update contact field values and you can set Points to 0.

Have a nice day,

N.

As of today I would use a little LowCode application and do it via the API regularly.  
All data is available via API and a little Automation in Tape can take care about that.

Thank you so much, it worked perfectly.

Guys, since I had this doubt and will probably have others, as I am a beginner, I decided to create a Customized GPT Expert in Mautic. I will share it with you here and create a post for the rest of the community. This GPT has access to all this information:  
Mautic Documentation: [Mautic Documentation | Mautic](https://docs.mautic.org/en)

Mautic Knowledge: [https://kb.mautic.org/](https://kb.mautic.org/)

I plan to further develop it and adapt it better to the needs.

Hi, this is an existing feature in Mautic.  
Update contact campaign action lets you overwrite the point value.  
Just add zero in there and points are zeroed 😉
