How to Set Up Email Notifications

Audience: School Admin

Steps

  1. Go to Admin → Notifications → Templates.
  2. You see 5 event types:
    • Ticket Issued — sent when a visitor receives a ticket
    • Near Turn — sent when the visitor's turn is approaching
    • Number Called — sent when the ticket is called to the counter
    • Ticket Transferred — sent when the ticket moves to another office
    • Service Completed — sent when service finishes
  3. For each event type:
    • Enter a Subject line (supports variables)
    • Enter the HTML Body (supports variables)
    • Toggle Active to enable or disable this notification type
  4. Use the Variables Reference panel to see all available placeholders.
  5. Click Preview to see a rendered sample email with dummy data.
  6. Click Reset to Default to restore the original template.
  7. Click Save Templates to apply changes.

Available Template Variables

Variable Example Value
{ticket_number} REG-042
{service_name} Enrollment Services
{office_name} Registrar's Office
{counter_name} Counter 3

{estimated_wait} 12

Important Notes

  • Notifications are only sent to visitors who provided an email address and checked the "Notify me" option when joining the queue.
  • Blank templates (empty subject and body) are skipped — they do not override existing saved templates.
  • Notification delivery can be monitored in Admin → Notifications → Log.
