The CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Campaign Schedule can be used to create events that allow you to easily email your tenants. For example, you may want to create a welcome email to send each time a tenant moves in or a farewell email to send when a tenant moves out.
Creating an email campaign
| 1. In SiteLink Web Edition, click Setup. |
|
| 2. Click CRM Campaign Schedule. |
|
| 3. Click Add on the right. | |
|
Complete the information on the CRM task screen. Each section of the screen is explained more below: |
|
|
1. CRM Event Name The name entered here will be used to identify what the event will be used for (Welcome Email, Birthday Special, Move-out Farewell). 2. Schedule Select an event that will trigger the task (Move-in, Reservation Cancelled, Calendar Date, etc). 3. Campaign Period Checking Currently in use will turn on the event. Unchecking will disable it. Start and end dates can be used to only run the event for a certain amount of time (Ex: Summer Special discount reminder). 4. Show On The Show On menu will determine when the event is actually set up to appear in the CRM tasks. They can be set a number of days away from the schedule event or for an exact date.
5. Applies to Customer/Lease Type a. Customer type can be used to apply the event to a certain type of customer (ex: Past tenants only for a move-out summary, reservation for an event to apply to people who have made reservations) b. Lease type can be used to send only to residential tenants or commercial tenants, or both can be selected to send to both. 6. Letter Delivery Method This is how the letter selected will be sent to the valid customers.The customer must have provided an email address in order to email them 7. Options Select the letter that will be sent when the task is processed. You can create new forms by going into Setup > Form Setup and clicking New RTF or New HTML. Save this with the name that you want to identify it with. |

Example
The example below shows how to create a Move-out Farewell Event:
|
1. In CRM Event Name, type “Move-out Farewell.” |
|
| 2. We want to have the task occur after they have moved out, so select Moved Out for the Reference Trigger Event. |
|
| 3. Under Campaign Period, we will keep Currently in use checked so that the task will be available as soon as we save it. We will leave the start date as it is and keep the end date blank so the task won’t end. | |
| 4. For Show On, we will have our Move-out Farewell be due 1 day after they move out. We will also select this to be a Single Occurrence, so that they will only receive 1 letter. |
|
| 5. Under Applies to Customer Type, we will select Past Tenant, as those are the only customers who we would want to send a moved out message to. We will also make the message only to be sent out to residential tenants, so uncheck Commercial if it is not already. |
|
|
6. We will now select which letter to use. I will use one I created earlier, called “Move-out Farewell” from the setup/form setup screen.
|
|
|
7. Once you have selected your letter, click OK to save your task.
|
|
|
8. To test whether everything is working, go to the main screen of SiteLink to see if the task is in the Reminders list. Alternatively, you can navigate to Operations > Customer Relationship Management and see if your task comes up in the list. |
