Automated Communications Setup: https://help.pm.leapevent.tech/a/1232468

Ready to start sending automatic pre- and post-show emails, or need to send out a cancellation email? Before you do, there are a few configuration steps you'll need to take first; below, you'll:

  1. Grant the Automated Communications permission set
  2. Activate a remote site for BeeFree.io
  3. Enable the Automated Communications feature

You'll only need to complete these setup steps once, and the whole process should take approximately thirty minutes. Let's get started!

Warning!

These automatic emails count towards your Salesforce Single Email Limit. Once you hit 5,000 total emails for the day, Automated Communications will no longer work until your limit resets the next day.

More importantly, ticket purchase and donation confirmation emails will no longer send, meaning you won't be able to process further transactions that day.

In general, if you anticipate selling more than ~2,000 tickets to any single Event Instance, consider carefully before using Automated Communications.

1. Grant Automation Template permission sets to your users

Assign the Automation Templates - Full Access permission set to the folks who will be working with Automated Communications - including yourself.

Huh? What's BeeFree.io?

That's the template editor you'll be using - inside PatronManager - to design your email templates. To use it, we need to tell PatronManager it's OK to talk to BeeFree.
