Event booking auto-responder

Hi everyone,
I've created an events web app so that it make it easier for the end user to create events in the backend. My form element looks like this:
<form name="catwebformform79383" method="post" onsubmit="return checkWholeForm79383(this)" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="https://site.worldsecuresystems.com/FormProcessv2.aspx?WebFormID=70464&OID={tag_bookingid}&OTYPE=61&EID={module_eid}&CID={module_cid}&CC={module_urlc ountrycode}&Referrer={module_siteurl,true,true}&SendInvoice=true">
The above enables the form to treat the web app as an event booking. My form has the auto-responder turned on and I have the following inside the auto responder:
Dear {tag_recipientfirstname},
Thank you for your registration. Please look our for your invoice which will arrive in a separate email.
We look forward to seeing you at this event.
{tag_webformresults}
When I test out the event though, the contents of the auto-responder doesn't match the above. Instead the email only shows:
Verify Your Booking
Click to verify your booking.
Dear Name.
Thank you for your booking
I tried turning off the autoresonponder in the form and then using the one in the web app but this didn't do anything, ie. I still receive the above email content.
I'm not even sure where it's coming from as I've checked all the system emails and I can't find anything.
Just wondered if someone could give me some advice to solve this?
Thanks so much.

I've inserted the form onto the web app item detail page using the following code which references a .tpl file where the form is located:
<div id="booking-form">{module_booking,i,{tag_booking id}
template="/ModuleTemplates/Events/{tag_payment type}.tpl"}</div>
The form has the auto-responder turned on but as mentioned, when I test the form it doesn't send the contents of the auto-responder from the form, it sends something different as mentioned in the original post.
I actually saw a tutorial on this at the following site:
Handle Paid and Unpaid Event Registrations with Business Catalyst
It didn't mention the auto-responder though.
Maybe because of the way I've set it up, perhaps it's not possible to send the auto-responder from the original form, do you think?

Event booking entries created for failed payments

We accept credit card payments on our event booking forms. In the event that the customer makes an error in entering their payment information, the page correctly detects the error and reports it.
However, attempt is seen as a "failed payment" and an event booking with a status of Failed is created for this event.
Is there a way to prevent failed attempts from creating an entry in the event booking list?

Adding a field to an Event Booking form and modyfying the results module.

I am trying to use the Events/Booking system to book casual days at a child care centre for a client. I can customise the Events Detail form layout but I need some additional fields and to make some changes to the auto responses.
The form/page is only visible in a secure zone, so the logged in user gets the form submitted against their name. This is fine. However, I need to also capture the name of the child who is being booked in by the adult. Can I add a field to this form and have it recorded in the event bookings. I have tried to add a field, but the data is not captured in the form results.
I also need to modify a few other things about the module:
- the form work flow. Where/how can I set the workflow used for the Event/Booking Submission? It seems to have picked one at random.
- I need to change the text/field names on the form results module on both the email confirmation and the confirmation page.
- it shows "Seats Booked" which in this case is an inappropriate description of the action taken. I need to change this to "Places Requested", or remove it completely.
- it also shows "Booking Confirmed". I need to change this to "Booking Request Received"
- the email confirmation shows a Verify Booking Link at the top of the email. This isn't in the Notification Email template on the Event. How can I remove it?
I can use javascript to hide or search and replace some of the offending tags, but I was hoping that there was a cleaner way.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there,
The form for booking is just a web form, BC treats it differently when in the events page. So under web forms you will find the booking form. You can not just add fields to the html of the form. You need to add them here so they can go into the database.
- The webform workflow can be changed on the web form settings, the workflows are under the site settings and you can create/edit them there.
- You can only have the name of the fields that come out, you do not have much customisation on the email confirmation or the layout. You can not limit or edit the fields.
- You can not use javascript in emails, this is not a BC thing, this is an email/web thing.

How to set product Id for event booking order?

We take paid bookings for a number of events through the year. Since the event booking information is identical for every event (only the event details change), we have implemented this by embedding the HTML from a standardised web form into each event's details section.
However, when the event booking is submitted by the customer, Business Catalyst creates a product whose name is constructed as {form name}/{event name} to correspond to this event. This product is referenced in the CRM order for this event that is linked to the customer. This means we get a separate product for each event type.
The problem is that the product code that is assigned to the event booking product is the ID of the web form that was used to process the event (ie. the form embedded in the event detail). Since we use the same web form for multiple events we are now seeing duplicate product codes.
I would like to create a common product for all event bookings and pass this product ID when posting the form on submit of the event booking. The reason for a single booking product is to simplify the synchronisation to our accounting system - otherwise we need to create a new product in the accounting system every time we add a new event.
Is there a query parameter I can include on the form's action URL or as an input field to the form that controls the product ID and / or the product name that will be used for the booking order?
The only other solution I can think of to solve this challenge is to create a unique web form - event combination for every single event. This is not a great solution due to the unnecessary duplication that this will involve - I would rather re-use a common piece of code.
Thanks for any help and advice.

How can I set up auto respond for email

How can I set up auto respond for email?

Hey there jimmac169,
It sounds like you want to have the Mail app automatically reply to emails that come in. You can do this in the app itself, but in order for the function to work, Mail needs to be open. Take a look at this info from the following article:
Mail (Yosemite): Reply to, forward, or redirect messages
Automatically reply to or forward messages
Mail must be open before it can automatically forward or reply to messages. If you want to send automatic replies when Mail isn’t open—like when you’re on vacation—check with the provider of your email account.
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied.
Set the conditions that determine which messages to automatically reply to or forward.
Choose options from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
Forward messages: Choose Forward Message from the first pop-up menu, then enter the email addresses where you want to receive the forwarded messages. Click Message, then enter any text you want to include with the forwarded message. For example, you could explain that you’re automatically forwarding messages.
Reply to messages: Choose “Reply to Message” from the first pop-up menu, click “Reply message text,” then enter your reply. Mail includes the full text of the original message in your reply.
Click OK.
Carefully consider the rules you create. If they’re too broad, messages can be sent inadvertently or create loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Hyperlink in auto respond text

When you create text in an auto respond message (in preferences, rules, etc), is there a way to link a word ( you know,make it blue ) in the text that will, when clicked, go to a specific web page?
thanks
bl

At first, I thought this would be easy, but apparently it is not!
I assume you know that you can manually convert a word to a link in an outgoing message by first highlighting it & then selecting "Add Hyperlink..." from the Edit menu, which allows you to type in or copy a URL it links to. Unfortunately, this only works if your outgoing message is 'rich text' ... which is actually converted to HTML when sent.
I assumed one could just copy that (say by sending yourself a message of this type & copying its raw source text into the rule), but the problem is that Mail interprets this as plain (or literal) text, so your recipients would see the 'raw' html instead of the link-word alone.
It might be possible to do this with an AppleScript as the rule action, but I'm not even sure about that since I think it would have to operate on the raw emlx draft message file & convert it to a multipart message or do other fancy things to get this to work right.

Mail Rules Problem (Auto-Respond Not Working)

Hello there, I just purchased a 20" iMac and Leopard has been great so far. The only problem I've run in is that Mail Rules does not auto-respond but rather it will just send back the same thing that it received. Keep in mind i've been a Tiger user for 1 year so the settings shouldn't be an issue. Anyways here is how i have it setup:
IF (ANY):
ACCOUNTS
REPLY TO MESSAGE: (REPLY MESSAGE TEXT) =this text is not showing up in the auto-respond emails.
Regard,
Peter

I'm another one with the same problem since I upgraded to Leopard.
My auto-reply rules no longer work.
This is really going to be a pain as I am on vacation starting tomorrow through the Thanksgiving holiday and now I have no way of communicating this with clients sending me emails.
I also did a bug report. Hopefully this gets fixed FAST!!

Any plans to enhance the Event Booking functionality?

Hi,
At the moment the Event Booking functionality is very limited.
Are there any plans in the near future to enhance how it works to include things like:
An end date for an event - at the moment it is impossible to indicate that an event goes for more than 1 day.
Easy payment for bookings - while you can currently take payments for books it is near impossible for customers to easily book more than 1 event at a time or book for multiple people (you either need to use custom javascript to calculate the cost) or reply on the customer to calculate the cost.
Use vouchers for bookings. Event bookings should really use the same checkout as the shop so customers can use vouchers and discount codes. The way I see it is bookings are just a unique type of product.
Thanks
Madeleine

As Mike says, it actually works rather well.
The only possibly confusing bit is that there is a "To:" box and "CC" and "Bcc" buttons along with a button for a LR Address book. Once you know to ignore these it works just fine with Thunderbird and presumably other email clients.

Event booking statuses

Is there any way to amend or add event booking statuses? At the moment the default status is "success" can I replace this with something like "booking confirmed" then add "invoice sent" and "payment received"? Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Please use negative numbers in this case...
If you are sending a follow-up, this is the number of days relative to the event date that it will be emailed to the subscribers you choose. A negative value will cause the follow-up to be sent before the event date, zero will be sent on the date, and a positive value after the event. For example, a Delivery Day of -7 will cause the message to be sent a week before the event; a value of 1 would cause the message to be sent the day following the event.
Hope this helps!

Event Booking - reminder email

Event Booking Fields

I'm using the event booking module for the first time, and I seem to be missing something very simple:
1. How do I show the event price.
2. How do I show the event venue.
I can't add them to the description as I want to show them in the list view as well as the detail view and doing that isn't really a user-friendly option anyway.
3. I would ideally like to include an introtext in the list view, but I don't see a tag for that either.
4. I'm using the breadcrumbs module but as far as I can see only webpages can be used - so event detail views are excluded, and I don't see a method of adding the detail view to a webpage... is this correct?
Thanks for any help, it feels like I'm not understanding something really obvious!

For anyone else with this issue, here's the case reply I got:
I'll address your question in the same order you asked on chat so here they go:
1) The price cannot be shown using a system tag and you will have to specify that using the booking name if you want to see it in the list view (it can be specified in the detail view but also typing it by hand and not using a tag from our system)
2) In the list view this info cannot be displayed as we don't have a tag for this (so you will have to choose whether you want to display this info or not in the list view and using what tag (please review the available tags for list view at the bottom of this message)
3) Regarding this truncated text as an introductory to the event it cannot be done as indeed there's no tag available to do that.
4) On this fourth question regarding the breadcrumbs, as it is mentioned in our KB ((search for: module_breadcrumbs) http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/modules-quick-reference.html) for modules quick reference: It "displays web pages breadcrumbs which follow the sitemap" and as a workaround to display the events I think it is possible but with some custom JS code, but unfortunately falls outside the scope of our support. Also when customizing the events layouts you cannot take somehow just the details of the event and display that, not by default using BC. What you can do in exchange (but depends on how many items you have) you can display your items in a page, open independently and then take the URL formed like site.domain.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=xxxxx (where xxxxx is your ID)

How do i set an email auto responder for I-mail?

Help, how do I set an email auto responder?
Thanks,
Twosheels

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "I-Mail". However, there is no way to set up an autoresponder on an iPad. You'll need to do it through the server. For example, I have Gmail. I can log into Gmail on my computer using my browser and set up an autoreponse in settings.

Send different mails on different days automatically-Auto Responder

I need to develop an Auto Responder application where my application has to send different mails to different types of Auto Responder customers.These mails should be sent to these customers every x days after their subscription i.e., once a customer has subscribed for this Auto Responder he will be recieving a mail 3rd day after subscription,then 7 days after subscription and then 10 days after subscription.This will vary on the particular auto responder to which the client has subscribed.
I got the suggestion that using timer and timer task classes in the java mail will be helpful.But can anyone tell me how to use these methods to send different mails to different customers on different days. I need it urgent.

Time Sensitive Automatic Auto Responder

Is there a way to set up a auto responder to turn on every friday at 5pm until monday at 9am?
too many clients are wanting me to email them on the weekend.
thanks

From Mail help.
Send automatic replies
You can create a rule to have Mail automatically reply to incoming messages. For example, you can set up a rule that’s triggered by a specific subject so that Mail replies automatically to all messages with that subject.
Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Rules.
Click Add Rule and type a descriptive name for the rule.
Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a message.
From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose “Reply to Message.”
Click “Reply message text” and enter the text for your reply message.Mail will include the text you enter, along with the full text of the original message, in the reply that it sends.
Mail must be running to automatically reply to messages, because rules aren’t processed when your Mac is shut down or you’re logged out. To set up automatic replies while you’re on vacation, ask your account provider how to set up an out-of-office reply.
Carefully consider the rules you create for sending automated replies. If they’re too broad, you can send messages inadvertently or create message loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
After a rule has processed a message, the message’s status icon changes to a gray arrow to indicate that a reply was sent.
