    • "Confirmed bookings": to sen the email only when the booking is confirmed
    • "Require client email": to send the email only if the customer's email address is included in the reservation

  • In Part 4, Compose message, create an email intended to request the deposit via Swikly: Write the contente of your email, making sure to integrate the Swikly link (for example: In order to deposit your deposit, please click here: [SWIKLY LINK]).

It is possible to schedule a reminder email for your customers who have not secured their deposit after your first request:

6. How do I know if the security deposit has been secured?


When a customer secures their security deposit, a small blue padlock will be displayed on your Smily dashboard in the list of your reservations. 


If you use Swikly for the payment of the remaining balance, the balance paid will also be updated in your dashboard, displaying the payment gauge in green. 




 

You can also check if your emails are being sent:

You can also view the messages that are scheduled to be sent automatically. In Smily's Notifications application, click on the "sent" tab on the left to see all the emails that have been sent to your customers.


From this tab, you can resend emails by cliking on "resend" or check whether they have been opened by your customers by clicking on "stats".
