Emails & Notifications
Updated

Manage automated communication with your Members and Referrals from the Emails page inside the program editor. From this page, you can enable/disable and edit the content of each email.
Email Types

Invite Email Template
If you are using Referral Rock to send invitations to potential members, you will want to create an Invite Email Template.
This email is used when inviting contacts to join your program through automatic invites (coming soon!) or invite campaigns.
Pending Member Email
This email is sent to members who have attempted to join your referral program, however one of the following scenarios is occurring, preventing them from becoming a member:
- Your account has reached the member limit
- You are manually approving member registrations
These potential members are stored under the Member Requests page until they are manually approved to join.
Member Emails
When a client registers as a member to your Customer Referral Program, there are several email notifications you can create. You may toggle any of these emails On/Off (with the exception of the Password Reset email)
- Member Registration : The email a new Member receives after registering for your referral program.
- Registration Reminder: Email a member receives XX days after they register to encourage them to share more (Default is 3 days).
- Monthly Summary: Email summarizing a member's program participation. It raises engagement by encouraging the Member to continue sharing, view their statistics, and easily access their Member page. (see below for criteria on who receives this email)
- Password Reset: The email notification a Member receives when they request to reset their password (always on).
- Added Referral : Email a Member receives after a Referral is added.
- Qualified Referral : Email a Member receives after a Referral is qualified.
- Approved Referral : Email a Member receives after a Referral is approved.
Referral Email
- Form Confirmation: The email a Referral receives after they complete a Referral page form. This email is only available for use when you are using our Referral Rock Form as your Referral Page option.
Monthly Summary Email
This email is sent on the first Monday of every month if to the members who meet the following criteria:
- Member has been registered for 15 days or more.
- Member has not been emailed from our system this month.
- Is an Active Member in an Active Program.
- Has not unsubscribed from the Monthly Emails.
