To help increase turnout, ElectionBuddy allows you to send reminders to all your voters who have not voted, you can also send a Reminder to a Single Voter. You schedule the reminders, allowing you to set reminders that will automatically be sent to you when the scheduled time comes.
The number of reminders included in your vote is determined by the cost of your vote. Reminders can only be used when using an electronic notice method, such as Email or SMS notices.
SMS and Email reminders are managed separately and each count towards your total of sent reminders. For example, if you have reserved 3, sending one SMS reminder and one Email reminder would use 2 of your 3 reminders.
Reminder templates are independent of one another (i.e. you may choose to either duplicate or create a different template for each reminder you want to schedule and send). The following process will need to be completed for each reminder you want to schedule and send. To send a vote-wide reminder:
Scheduling Reminders
- Select your votes title to go to your votes Results Page
- Select the "Actions" menu, located in the top right
- Select "Reminders"
Not seeing the option to send a reminder? Your vote may not qualify for reminders based on the price you paid for your vote. Please see our Pricing Page for more details. Reach out to our Success Team if you need more reminders.
- Select "Schedule Email Reminder" to schedule an email reminder
- Select "Schedule SMS Reminder" to send a SMS reminder
- Edit the template
- Enter a send date and time for the reminder to go out
- Click "Schedule" to save your changes
- Once scheduled, you can preview it to see what the reminder notice will look like
- To preview, click the "Preview" button next to the reminder after you've scheduled it
The Reminder will go out at the scheduled time. To remove, edit, or duplicate the reminder, please select corresponding the buttons
Send Reminders to a specific Voting Group
Administrators can send Reminders to specific Voting Groups. When scheduling reminders, select which group(s) you want the Reminder to go to using the “Send to Voting Groups” dropdown menu.
Duplicating Reminders saves time and effort in creating a new reminder each time. All the details are auto-filled and only the send date and time need to be updated.
