How to Create a Tee Time Reminder Email
Follow the steps below to build, configure, and schedule your campaign:
- Open the top-left module dropdown and select Marketing.
- Click New Email Campaign in the top right to start a new campaign. Or open the Default Templates folder and pick a tee time reminder template to build from.
Edit the email to fit your course. Adding your course logo is a good place to start. To pull customer- or tee time-specific details into the email, use the merge tags below.
What it inserts Merge tag Customer first name {{customer.first_name}}Tee time date {{teetime.date}}Tee time time {{teetime.time}}After you compose the email, rename the campaign so you can find it later.
Optionally save the email as a custom template. After you rename the campaign, click Save as Template in the bottom right.
Tip: Saving as a template makes it faster to reuse this reminder design for future campaigns.Click Recipients in the bottom right to choose who can receive the reminder.
On the Recipients page, open the Add Groups of Customers to List dropdown. Select Everyone if you want reminders available to all customers, or choose a specific group (or groups) for a narrower audience. Then click +Add Selected Group.
- Click Campaign Details in the bottom right.
On the details page, fill in the campaign fields:
Field Notes Email Subject Line The subject customers see in their inbox. Email From Name The display name that appears as the sender. Email Preview Snippet Short preview text shown next to the subject in many email clients. From Email Address The address replies go to. If you do not want customers to reply, use a no-reply address. Under the Schedule Campaign header, choose Create Based on Event. Set how many minutes or days before the tee time the reminder should send.
- Click Review in the bottom right and check the campaign one last time. When everything looks correct, click Schedule Campaign. The reminder will send based on the timing and recipients you selected.
