Automated Emails

A huge part of ShootAssist's ability to save you time and keep you on top of things

Automated emails are probably one of ShootAssist's most powerful features and can bring a huge amount of value to your team.

Main Idea

With automated emails, You can write a series of emails on a per Job Type basis that ShootAssist can automatically schedule and send out, using live information from the shoot they're related to.

Setting things up

In addition to a title, each automated email has a few settings to make it run.

  • Send date - The relative time before or after the shoot date, when this email should automatically go out. You can select from 5 weeks before to 4 weeks after the shoot date.

  • CC To - This allows you to CC a particular contact on a particular email. With this, you can CC the athletic director on sports emails, or CC a principal on a How'd we Do? email.

  • Subject - The subject of the email (This field accepts tokens)

  • Body - The body of the email (This field also accepts tokens)

Tokens and why to use them

Canned emails can feel... impersonal. But from a time perspective, they're so incredibly helpful. To make them field custom and personal, ShootAssist uses tokens to allow you to write your emails in a way where certain parts of the email will be replaced with live information about your Client, Contact or Team when the email is sent.

  • [[ClientName]] - Pulls the Client's name (ie Test Christian Academy)

  • [[ClientInternalName]] - Pulls the Client's internal name (ie TCA)

  • [[JobDate]] - Pulls the Job Date

  • [[JobDateShort]] - Pulls a shorter version of the date

  • [[JobTime]] - Pulls the job's start time

  • [[JobLocation]] - Pulls the job's location (ie Gymnasium)
