What the emails include

  • Each venue chooses its own Send from email in Communications, so each venue's emails come from its own address.
  • The wording of each email is set for you. Your part is A note from us and one button, so put your time limit, late arrival policy or payment terms in the note.
  • Email Templates shows a preview of the email you pick, and it updates as you type.

  2. Click Emails.
  3. Click Resend confirmation. View all emails shows what was sent and whether it landed.

A guest who cancelled still gets reminders

  1. Open the booking on the Day Planner and click Cancel.
  2. Tick or untick Send cancellation notification.
  3. Click Cancel booking.

Still getting them? Check the guest has no second booking on the same date.
