Want to use reply status as criteria for sending out Reminders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, maybe you have a 24 hour and 2 hour, and 15min reminder scheduled. Maybe you only want to send out the 2 hour one IF the person has not confirmed or acknowledged your first reminder you sent 24 hours ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event Status Criteria to the rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do this by specifying Status based criteria<\/strong> for your templates. Use this in conjunction with other Advanced Criteria<\/a> to suit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here you can specify if you want to send the reminder if the appointment is unconfirmed (Not Confirmed), and send out another reminder to them to reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OR perhaps you want to send out a different notification to people who decline your appointment (reply NO or use the Confirm Pages<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do all that using the Status Criteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
