Autoresponder Email: How to send a reminder email to the client one day before booking?

    Asked on February 28, 2021 at 7:22 PM

    Hi,

    I've got another question about the calendar function.

    I'd like to send reminders and I notice there is an autoresponder function with the possibility to send email at a later date, however I don't seem to understand if possible to set the email date based on the booking date.

    Ie. booking for 10-03-2021, I'd like to send a reminder one day before the booking.

    Is it possible?

    Hi there!

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    It is not possible to send a reminder email before the booking date directly. However, we can create a workaround with conditions to make it work. Please allow me some time to create a workaround for you. I will get back to you soon.

    Step 1: We will add two Date Picker fields in the form and hide these.

    Step 2: Add an Update/Calculate Field condition to copy Appointment field value to 1st Date Picker field (Appointment Date).

    Step 3: Add another condition to subtract the number of days from the Appointment Date to calculate the Reminder Date (2nd Date Picker field).

    Step 4:  You can then set your autoresponder email's Send Emails Later setting into the reminder date field.
