Event Booking - reminder email

Hi there,
The event booking module has a "Follow up" email option, but how do I send an email reminder with information BEFORE the event?
Thanks for your help.
Monica

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!

Duplicate reminder emails for the same event

Some of my users are experiencing duplicate reminder emails for the same event. These duplicates have the same bodies, different message-id headers and posted at exactly the same time.
Has anybody seen this sort of behavior and know a fix.

We had the same problem. At us I noticed the start/stop from the server went wrong. There were double processes running from the server. You should have 1 admin process, 1 notify process, 1 enpd process and (same as your cpu count) httpd processes.
When the other ones are more then 1, restart the system.
This receiving double e-mail reminder problem, you will only find at people who have AND event notifications on AND event & task reminders on! People who don't have BOTH activated, don't receive double reminders.
Also watchout that your test calendar system can't send e-mail notifications to your production users. But this you can see by reading the headers from the e-mail .. the system where it comes from is then different.
Hope this helps.

Reminder emails - wrong address

ical is sending my event reminder emails to a wrong address.
Even though in ical the reminders are set to my new address AND in Address book, this old email is nowhere to be seen, especially not under my name.
I've searched and searched and cannot find how to change this.
Can anyone please advise?

Thanks Ernie. Yep, so I thought. But no.
< but just in case, click on Window in menubar of Mail, choose Previous Recipients, then find and remove any reference to your old address. >
This address isn't evident here in 'previous recipients' after having checked.
Any clues anyone?

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Create event from an email in LION

Maybe it's me, but I can't seem to find a way (or Apple Scripts in Menu like Snow Leopard) to create an Event from an Email?
I do see that one thing it must have is a date or time from someone in the body of the email, which gives you the dropdown bar and you can create an event.
I hope this isn't gone or tossed out, or worse, not thought through (Remember not being able to accept a meeting invite on iPhones?).
Anyone guide this through for me? Can't believe I am asking a question like this but this one has me lost.
Thanks

Ok. I spoke to iApps Team at Apple and we figured this out.
Here's how it works:
In order to drag an event to iCal (Create Event from an Email) you must be in "No Conversations" mode
Conversations can be toggled by the Icon in the Icon Bar (See preferences to drag it if it's not there)
Once in "No Conversations" mode, you can drag an email to create an event in iCal like Snow Leopard
The AppleScripts from Snow Leopard Mail are gone (At least in the OS version of Mail)
If you are in "Conversations" mode, you cannot drag an email to iCal to create an event (Apple - should this be fixed or updated to add the Conversations to create an event???)
So Hat Tip to the folks at iApps for helping me to determine the fix. They were able to drag it in "No Conversations" mode, which led me to my own conclusion that it works only in that mode.
Better would be a add-in to the Help Menu to show people how to do this. Simple is fine, we need to know how to do something as critical as this without guesswork...
What's your experiences, tips or tricks in Apple Mail so far?

Automated Calendar Reminder Emails

I have an event calendar on SharePoint that needs to automatically send out event reminder emails every 48 hours. I'm able to do this using date comparison and pausing in a workflow, but it doesn't look at the event time or the current time. Suggestions?

Hi,
Could you please provide more details about the issue? And what is the event time? Is the event start time or the event created time?
It seems you want to create a timed workflow, you could follow the steps below to create a timed workflow:
1. Go to enable retention and add a retention stage. (Go to calendar list settings->click Information management policy settings->click the content type you want to add retention stage-> enable retention->add a retention stage)
2. in the event section, you could decide the time period.
3. In the action section, you could select the start a workflow.
4. In the recurrence section, you could select “repeat this stage’s action until the next stage is activated” and set the recurrence period.
5. You could create send email action in the workflow to send reminder emails.
The article below is about how to create a timed Workflow in SharePoint 2010, it also can work in SharePoint 2013. You could refer to the article for more details.

Insert date on event module notification email

Hello community,
I'd like to add the date of the event booked on the event module notification email, but those tags are not available in the toolbox on that panel and when I use those listed in the documentation, they don't work and simply display as {tag_ }, even though they work in the detailed event layout.
I'm thinking it can be done with a module tag /liquid layout, but the things I've tried so far aren't giving me what I need.
Can you help?
The events are daily (basically admission) so there is no category, but the date should be sent on the confirmation email because it serves as the ticket.
Thank you!

PLEASE! There must be some way to insert the date on the events module notification email.
HELP????

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.

Workflow changes - send reminder email on X - 1 days ... based on Molga

Hello Everyone,
       I new to workflow and I came across a workflow scenario where I am confuse, that what should I do in order to make it work. Luckily we are running only one workflow in the system which is time off request, We copied standard workflow class u201CCL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBSu201D to Z version and introduced some new method to send email to employees managers as well as employee and HR .
We also have something called workflow item cancel thing . Lets say if workflow is not approved by manger within X bossiness days it got cancel and employee has to submit the new time off request again. After doing a little bit research I came to know that there is standard job which checks and calculate the X days thing. Work flow is running fine from last 1 year.
Last week, we been asked to create reminder from X-1 day and sends to employee manager saying u201C This is a reminder and one day is left u201C .
   I wanted to know how I can achieve that, I have to filter the employee by reading employeeu2019s molga as we want to do it for specific countries then I have to read employee manager which I can do using different FM and then I have to send email to employee's manager .
Like I said It should happen BEFORE x-1 business days when employee submits the time off u2026
Here what I am thinking , I can read table u201CSWWWIHEADu201D with field WI_TYPE = u2018Wu2019 . and pass work_id to FM " SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ " and read the container like the INCLUDE MWS20000081HO01
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ'
         EXPORTING
              wi_id                    = wi_id
            READ_FOR_UPDATE          = ' '                         *
         TABLES
              wi_container             = wi_container
         EXCEPTIONS
              container_does_not_exist = 1      "message from function
              others                   = 99.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      SWC_GET_ELEMENT WI_CONTAINER 'ACTUALSTATE' ACTUALSTATE130100.
    ELSE.
      CLEAR ACTUALSTATE130100.
    ENDIF.
    IF ACTUALSTATE130100 = 'N'.
      CALL TRANSACTION 'WS20000081M'.
      LEAVE PROGRAM.
    ENDIF.
From container I can read employee number and approver . Get molga via pernr and can filter the employee ..who ever submits the request system date u2013 4 .. I can send out the reminder email u2026
Is there any other way around or any other efficient way of doing that u2026 I hope you understand this thing is conditional u2026 As far as I am concern I new to workflow so please bear with me ..
Waiting
Khan
FYI- I have gone through several post which task about deadlines monitoring Etc .. using fork & wait blah blah .. but It didnu2019t get any clue where to start and how to start u2026

Mike,
        I think I am following you so for .. so here what I did ... I opened the "approve process" and slap in the same refer date/time in "Requested end date " with variables "&WFDATA.DEADLINEDATE&" "&WFDATA.DEADLINETIME&" with 1- DAY . I didnu2019t find this what it says in help " It is possible to specify a negative time interval. Negative time   intervals should only be used in connection with an expression as a   reference date/time. You then have the option of "backward deadlines"
Any way after that I changed action to "modeled" and say "outcome "reminder from UK " .
it creates a node with clock sign , now like you said , I can do many things here .. and I really need to do something for example , I need to check the employee if he/she is from UK , after that reads his/her manager and send an email to mangeru2019s outbox . UK gave us an email format which I have created in t-code SE60 - with Document Class "Dialog Text".
How to proceed further. Thanks for baby sitting me.
What I am thinking , I need to create a new activity as well as new method in my Zclass, in which I will check employee Molga i.e. U.K and I have to send out email based on my email text which I have created in SE61.
Iu2019m able to write code in existing method , being on the safe side I copied the existing workflow and made changes in to it . Now it comes to debugging part , Iu2019m able to find posts on SDN talks about workflow debugging . When I am entering time off request from ESS , and it is not stopping at external breakpoint , Also when I am looking at "PTARQ" to see submit WF items . It is showing me the old task "w90000012" which is original one and I copied it and my task is "w90000022" . What I have to do so when I submit time off request via ESS it calls my task . I created Task in PFTC . But nothing is happening . Please let me know what I am missing ..
I found the table for ESS leave request and able to see my task , Table name is "u2022     V_T554S_WEB"
But still waiting for answers the of above questions ...

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?

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:

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?
