Email templates : Can I set-up attachments to be sent with my emails?

Updated on

Yes. You can upload attachments that are generic for all properties e.g. Terms and conditions, or you can upload attachments that are property specific e.g. Directions.

Our e-mail processor has a 10MB limit. If the limit is exceeded it will not send. Please make sure when uploading attachments and files that the size is within the 10MB limit.

Expand or collapse content How do I upload global attachments?

1. Go to Emails/Letters > Global documents.

2. Enter a document name and click Choose File to upload a file from your computer.

3. Tick whether you wish to attach this to your online booking summary (this is the summary the guest receives when they first place their online booking).

4. Click Save.

Expand or collapse content How do I upload property specific attachments?

1. Go to Properties > Edit > select property > Documents > Go.

2. Enter a property name eg. Arrival instructions or Directions.

3. Choose whether it should be available to send to customers and/or avilable to view within the customer login by selecting "Yes" or "No".

4. If you already have a document that you wish to upload, select type "Upload file". If you wish to create a PDF from within SuperControl select "Generate PDF", this will open up a text box underneath allowing you to enter your text.

5. If uploading a file from your computer click "Choose File" and locate on your computer then click Open.

6. Tags for auto form letters: If you use our automated emails, you can add a tag for a document so that SuperControl knows to include property specific documents for relevant bookings. For example, if you add a tag called "Directions", you can allocate that to your Directions uploaded file. Repeat this process for your other properties. This means when you create an automated email you can select the tag so that the document will attach automatically and know what property to assign it to based on the booking.

7. Tick whether this document should be attached to the online booking summary when this property is booked and Save.

Please note if you create a PDF using the Generate PDF function, if you need to edit the text in future you are unable to as you cannot edit a PDF. In this case you would need to copy the text and create a new document, make the changes and Save. Then you can delete the previous version.
