Reminder E-Invitations Come From Me?

[babywings76]

I put myself on the guest list for an upcoming show so I could see how things arrived in the e-mails. I just got the reminder one. It says it's from me?! When I go into her show options and click on the section that shows if the guests have viewed their invitations and what-not, it says that the invitation was sent by my host, and that the reminder was sent by me. Did I do something wrong? Why does it say that? I don't want her guests being confused. Can I fix it?

Is anyone else noticing this? Is this normal? Is there a way to set it up so guests get the e-mails "from" the host?

I've noticed that too and in fact some guests have been upset that I'm emailing them when I'm not!

It is an automatic feature. You can turn it off.

 

[babywings76]

I like having the reminders go out, so do the hosts. I was just wondering if something was wrong because people are getting them seeing that they are "from" me, instead of "from" my host. KWIM? When the original e-invitations go out, they show the host's name as the sender, but these aren't doing that.

How do you turn it off? I have MANY complaints about this--hosts do NOT like that their friends are having ME email them about their party. So how do you turn it off and make it so the reminder comes from the host?

Click on the show in your Personal Website Assistant from CC.

Underneath the Cooking Show info is:

A reminder email will automatically
be sent on: Wednesday, Nov 26, 2008.
Note: email will be sent at 12:01 a.m. Central
Time on the day it is scheduled to be sent.
edit email

Click on edit email

The next screen, the 3rd choice is Schedule An Auto-Reminder Email? Yes/No

Select NO and then to the right, select Save Auto Reminder Settings. (You'll notice the red blurb about the auto reminder will disappear.)

My Question is: once this is turned off for a show - how do I TURN IT BACK ON???

 

[pamperedbecky]

Yep, and don't forget that last step once you change it from yes to now to click the Save Automatic Settings. I forgot once and they still went out. What I do so it comes from the host is go into her host guest list screen and send out reminders from there. Then it looks like it's coming from her. I guess the nice thing when it does accidentally come from me is some people email me directly by hitting reply and i get to correspond with a few people. It's good for building rapport, whether or not they can come.

Oh... so the auto reminders come from me, but if the host clicks to send reminders, it's from her? Good to know. Thanks.

Yes. That's why I try to remember to disable it. Or another option that you've probably heard on here is since a lot of the emails from our PWS seem to go into spam folders or get blocked is to have the host send a reminder to herself. Then she can just forward the email from her own email account to all of her guests. That way it's obviously coming from her and there's little chance of it not making it.

These PWS emails are getting better at being delivered, but it's not great. Did you know you can also look to see who has opened their invites or reminders? That's another way to tell if it's possibly been blocked.
