Wild Apricot can send automated and manual emails to contacts and members. Automatic emails are sent as a confirmation of member actions including applying for a membership, and event registration or an invoice payment. Manual emails are emails that an administrator sends to one or more contacts or members and can use a filtered member or contact list. Manual emails can be scheduled in the future or sent on demand, whereas automatic emails are sent based on a triggered event usually only to one contact or member.
The documentation on these emails is really great, but what is hard to find is a cheat sheet of all the automated emails and where they can be set. These settings are all buried within the Settings tab in a variety of locations, and this post helps bring them all together. Customizing the automated emails is a great way to market and brand your organization. Since these emails are sent automatically and quite often they can be used to describe the benefits of being a member and contact information for your organization.
