Email Notifications

The Email Notifications that sent out for Dining Reservations are sent out by Activity Management. In order to have Email Notifications sent from Activity Management you will need to ensure that both Notifications and Email Settings are configured within Dining Settings. The Notifications section will allow you to configure when email notifications will be sent to your members as well as what templates will be used for the notifications. You will have the ability to configure notifications for New Reservations, Edited Reservations and Cancelled Reservations.

The settings that can be configured for these three types of notifications are as follows:

  • Send Email Confirmations - The options you have to choose from are:
    • Always - When ever a new reservation is created in Activity Management or Clubhouse Online, an email notification will be sent out.
    • Never - Email notifications will never be sent out regardless where the booking originated.
    • Ask - Email notifications will only be sent out for bookings completed in Activity Management if the admin answers yes to the prompt asking them to do so. For online bookings this will not display a prompt and will treat this setting the same as Always
  • Email Confirmations FormThis the template that will be used for the entire confirmation. This would have been pre-configured by your trainer. If you have questions about altering this form please contact Support.
  • Email Subject - This is what you want the subject line of your email confirmations to display.
  • Email Body Form - This is the template that will be used for just the body of the email confirmation. This would have been pre-configured by your trainer. If you have questions about altering this form please contact Support
  • Send Push Notification - If enabled, the member will receive a push notification to the club's mobile app on the member's mobile device. If push notifications have not been enabled for the Dining Reservations module, contact our Web Support team.
