Customize An Email Template

All emails are pre-set with generic text. However, the text is fully customizable. Follow the instructions above to locate the email templates. Once in this section, choose the email you would like to edit by clicking on the pencil buton.

Important: The Sender Name & Email Address must be completed on any email template otherwise the template will not be used by the Trekksoft system

The Sender Name is the name of the person/company the email has been sent from. The Sender Email is used if a customer replies to an email automatically sent. It will need to be an active email address to receive and send a response. 

We have pre-set place holders ready for you to copy and paste below your email text box. These will automatically personalize your email to each customer, for example, adding their name, date of travel, etc. 

Once you have completed your changes click save

How to Combine Emails (PDF tickets & Basket Summary Receipt)

Instead of sending two emails, you can use the Combine Emails feature so the Basket Summary Receipt and the PDF ticket(s) are attached to the same email.

To activate this feature, follow these steps:

  1. In your Admin Desk, on the left-hand side go to Settings> Profile.
  2. On the right-hand side of the screen, click on the notifications button. 
  3. In the notifications screen, scroll down until you see the Combine Trip Ticket and Receipt in one Email?
  4. Tick the checkbox to enable the feature

Tips: Editing Emails

When editing the email templates, you can use placeholders. For example, if you would like to mention your customer’s name in the email, you can add {user.firstname} in place of the actual name of your customers.

For example, Say 'Bob' books a trip with you and in the confirmation email, you say:

    • “Hey {user.firstname}, thanks for booking a trip with us!”

Bob will receive an email saying:

    • “Hey Bob, thanks for booking a trip with us!”

 

We have a list of different placeholders for you to add to your emails to make them more personal and friendly. The available placeholders are listed at the bottom of each of the edit e-mail pages.
