This article will show you how to edit and enable your reminders. The system has default reminders which are sent when bookings are made or changed and cannot be disabled, however, you may want to edit their content. You'll also need to enable the remaining reminders because they are turned off by default.
Editing your reminders
Steps
Navigate to Setup > Correspondence > Reminders
A list of available reminders will display. Take a look at the image below to learn how to interpret the reminder symbols:
Click on the speech bubble icon next to the reminder you would like to edit.
Make changes to the reminder by typing in the text box.
You can use the placeholders on the right to auto populate your email with information unique to the recipient. For example:
@ClientFirstName will insert the first name of the client receiving the email
@PayNowButton (available in booking/sale invoice reminders) will insert a button which allows the client to pay an invoice without logging in, and will be hidden if the invoice is already paid.
Click Preview to view your reminder
Click Save

Enabling your reminders
Steps
Click the grey dot on the left of the reminder to enable it. It will become a bright green color when enabled.
