EK Registration advanced has the option for users to set up automatic reminder emails to patrons. When you set up a new form, you can also create an automatic reminder blast email to go out to registrants before or after the event. You set when the email goes out and what it says.
Why is it called a blast? What happened to the REMINDER button?
The name change helps differentiate automatic reminders from the various other reminder emails EK and TK can send out. Our blast emails function the same way as our former reminder email except for one big difference: instead of only sending out 1 email, you can send out up to 3! For example, an email can got out 3 days before and event, one day before the event and one day after the event as a follow up.
How do I set up a Reminder Blast Email?
1. Create an event and form. Save both.
2. Edit the form and find the field called Blast Emails Before/After.
3. Click on the Create New Blast (1) button
4. Fill in the fields to set up your first reminder email.
Blast name is an internal name that only staff will see.
Date Offset is the number of days before or after the event you want the email sent. A setting of 1 will send the reminder blast 1 day before the event date.
Subject This is the subject line of the email that the patrons will see.
Status to Send to This drop down lets you choose what kind of registrants you want to send the email to. If you choose REGISTERED, it will send the email to only the people who are registered and not those on the waiting list.
5. Click ADD RECORD to finish setting up the blast.
6. Repeat the steps above for the other 2 blasts, if needed. You do not need to make 3 blasts for these to work. You can make one and it will only send one email blast.
7. SAVE the form. If you don't hit save, the blasts you created will not be finished.
Note: Blasts made for multiple use forms will only send reminders before the first event in the series.
