Who should see this post?
Choose which customers will see the post. You can target based on booking status, location, or item type to ensure the right audience receives your message.
- Customers with pets in house on this date - Displays the post only to customers who have pets currently checked in on the selected date.
- Where booking is in this location - Filters the post visibility by specific facility or site location (useful for multi-location businesses).
- I want to match on item types - This is set by default to Item Types.
- Where pet is in these item type(s) - Choose which item types (e.g. Daycare, Grooming, Boarding). The pets must be in for their owners to see the post.
You are able to upload an image - Please note, when the customer is emailed the Post notification, it will only show them the first three images. They will have to click into the Customer Portal to view more (if any).
Once all of the selections have been made - The information will update in the post builder for you.
- Publish – to deliver your post to the selected list. You will then have the option to email the post to your customers. This is the only way they are notified that the post is available to view on the portal. So it is recommended to click yes.
- Save Draft – to come back and finish later.
- Back – to return to the previous screen without saving changes.
Review your title, message, and audience settings, then choose whether to send it right away or save it for later. If you've selected the email option, your customers will be notified automatically. Once live, your post will appear in their Customer Portal, keeping them informed and engaged.
This is an example of a post viewed from within the Customer Portal.
