What to Know
Basic Email Sharing Settings
Email sharing is customizable and similar to the settings we offer for our live galleries. Here are a few basic settings that are important to know:
Sender’s Name: This is the name that shows your recipients who the email is from. Most booth owners put their company’s name here.
Subject Line: Pretty self explanatory, but what you’d like to have appear in the subject line. We like “Honk if You Love Your Photos!”, but you do you.
Reply-to Address: While this is optional, we definitely recommend adding your company’s email address here. This way, if someone were to respond to an email, it would send directly to you. This is a great way for interested guests to reach out to you for booking their upcoming events!
Custom Send Address: By default, email shares will come from email@boothmailer.com. If you’d like to show your email address instead, you will need to set up your domain.
Please note that this is a more advanced feature and requires some knowledge of domains and how to change their settings. You can find out how to set up your domain here.
What To Know
Lead Section
The Lead Section is the top section of the email message which displays the event name, a tagline, as well as a logo which can be made into a clickable link.
Logo: Add a JPG or PNG file to be displayed at the top of the email
Event Name: Displays the name of the event at the top of the email. The event name can be changed from Event Info settings.
Logo Link URL: Allows guests to be directed to a specific website when they click the logo.
Tagline: Add a tagline, or short message, below the logo and name of the event. If a tagline is not included, the number of captures will be shown instead.
What to Know
Social Sharing
In the Social Sharing section you’re able to choose which social media platforms you’d like to show for guests within the email.
Additionally, you can add either a Default Sharing Caption for all platforms or create specific captions for each platform. These captions will be added along with the link that guests share.
What to Know
Customizations
The Customizations section allows you to add a headline and message within the email, as well as create a Call to Action (CTA) button. This button is prominently displayed at the top of the email.
The CTA button is a great opportunity to drive guests to another website, whether it’s your site to book an event, the venue’s upcoming events calendar, or a donation page for a charity event.
Headline: Write the title for the email message
Body: Write the message within the email
Button URL: Enter in the website address that you would like to direct your guests to when clicked
Note: The website address needs to start with https:// in order for it to be accepted
Button Label: Enter the text that will show up on the button
Button Color: The color of the button is set by the email’s accent color under the Design settings
What to Know
Company Info
The Company Info section allows for you to provide your company’s website, phone number, and social media links.
This information is displayed at the bottom of the email.
Headline: Enter in your company or business name
Email: Enter in a contact email address
Website URL: Enter in your company’s web address
Phone Number: Your company’s phone number.
Facebook: Enter a link to your company’s Facebook page.
Twitter: Enter a link to your company’s Twitter page.
Instagram: Enter a link to your company’s Instagram page.
Terms and Conditions URL: A link to your company’s Terms and Conditions page.
Privacy Policy URL: A link to your company’s Privacy Policy.
Tips and Tricks
All web address/links need to include the https:// or http:// in order for it to be accepted.
Adding hyphens (-) to the phone number can improve readability
If your company does not already have a terms and conditions page, you can use TermsFeed to generate and host a terms and conditions agreement.
FAQs
Will This Work Without WiFi or an Internet Connection?
In order for the captures to send via email, you’re going to need an internet connection. If you don’t have an internet connection at your event, the captures will send when your Salsa connects to the internet again.
