| 3 | = Automated Email Templates = | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | Automated messages are emails and texts sent automatically based on certain events, such as appointment bookings, reminders, invoices, and member registrations. Default message templates are provided for each option and can be used as-is or customised to suit your needs. | ||
| 6 | |||

| 9 | == Navigating to Message Templates == | ||

| 17 | == Email Settings == | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | At the top of the page, two global settings apply to all automated emails: | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | * **Send Email on Behalf of** – The business name that will appear as the sender on all automated emails. | ||
| 22 | * **E-mail Reply To** – The email address that replies will be sent to. | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | ---- | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | == Enabling and Editing Templates == | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | Each template has a checkbox to enable or disable it. When checked, the automated message will be sent when the relevant event occurs. Each template can be customised by editing the text in the message field. | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | === Field Tags === | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | Many templates support **field tags** — dynamic placeholders that are automatically replaced with real data when the message is sent. Available tags are listed to the right of each template. To use a tag, copy and paste it including the # symbols into your message. | ||
