Automatic Emails
There are two emails that we send out automatically Added to Waitlist Notification/Confirmation and Waitlist Reminder.
The content of these automatic emails can be viewed and updated in the Email Content settings page here: Settings > Site Settings > Email Content
For more information on updating the content for these templates see the Email Content help page.
Added to Waitlist Notification/Confirmation
To turn on the Added to Waitlist Notification/Confirmation go to Settings > Site Settings > Site Details. Look for the check box labeled Email Customer on Signup. When checked we will automatically send an email when a new person is added to the waitlist.
We have two versions of this email. The Added to Waitlist Notification version is sent when a person is added via the WaitlistPlus admin by one of your staff. The Added to Waitlist via Portal Confirmation version is sent when your customer uses the portal to sign up.
Reminder Email Settings
To turn on the Waitlist Reminder email, go to Settings > Site Settings > Reminders. Here you can enable/disable the reminder emails and also set the frequency
