How can I set up a "System Alert" email to send a Pickup report at a defined pickup rate?

You can create something called a "System Alert" to notify certain people when pickup for an event reaches a certain level.

Under the "Communication" tab when building an event, you'll see a sub-heading labeled "System Alerts". From here, if you select "Pickup Alert" from the "Alert Type" drop-down, you can click "Create Alert" to show a pop-up screen with information fields, shown in the image below.


The following is a description of each field:

Name: Used simply to give the alert a memorable name.

Email Me Daily At: Used to specify a time, using the 24 Hr clock format, at which the system will send you the corresponding alert email.

Percentage: Used to specify what pectange of pickup the event needs to hit before the alert gets sent out.

Room Type: Used to decice between either all room types associated with an event, or one specific room type at one specific hotel.

Sub-Block: Used to decide if the Pickup must be for a specific sub-block, or if you want alerts about Pickup for all sub-blocks.


From here, you can decide which email addresses get sent the alert. You can have the alert get sent to the "System Notification Email Address", the email address associated on each hotel profile, or completely new email addresses, which you can add line by line in the text box next to the "Email To" label.
