Adding/Managing Reminders for Itinerary Items

Video Tip - Go to the 1:04 mark of the video to view information on how to add a reminder to an Itinerary item (while you are adding the item).

You can add Reminders to each Itinerary items so that all Contacts and Vendors who are assigned to each item will receive a reminder a short time in advance of when each item is scheduled to occur. You can set Itinerary item reminders to:

• Trigger anywhere from the start time of the item up to 30 minutes prior to the start time.
• Send assigned Contacts and Vendors email and/or text message reminders.

For example, say you have created the item "Check-in begins" that starts at 8:00 am and you have assigned 2 Contacts (both staff members) and 2 Vendors to the item. You want to remind all these people 10 minutes prior to when check-in begins so they can be at the proper place at the proper time. You can create a Reminder for the item that triggers 10 minutes ahead of the item, and you can set it to send an email and/or a text message reminder at that time.

When you add a new Itinerary item, you can create a Reminder when you are setting up the new item; otherwise, you can use the instructions below to add/modify Reminders.
