Custom autoreponders for each participant type

Options

Hello,

 

Currently, we have four different participant types and just the one "Thank You for Registering" autoresponder. We would like to create a separate autoresponder for just our volunteers with specific information about when they'll get their assignments, but I'm unclear on whether or not that's possible.

  • I don't think you can do a separate autoresponder message based on participation type, but you can use conditionals to have different text appear for people based on what participation type they chose. 

     

    [[? [[S48:TRID:smileytongue:art-type]] ::volunteer::  Message for people who are volunteers ::  Message to everyone else ]]

     

    You would need to put the 4 digit ID of your teamraiser event in place of TRID above and replace the word "volunteer" with the exact name of the participation type you setup in your TeamRaiser event (case sensitive).

    Hi Jonathan,

     

    Thank you!! This works great.

    We have several participation types set up with our TeamRaiser blueprint, and then we have 30+ child events.

     

    I'm hoping to have specific content for each of the participant types in the autoresponder using a conditional and the [[S48:fr_ID:smileytongue:art-type]] tag, but it isn't working out for me.

     

    Here's my syntax:

     

    <p>  TEST:  [[S48:5491:smileytongue:art-type]]  <convio:choose>  

     

    <convio:when title="Walker" test="eq" selected="selected">     <convio:smileysurprised:p><convio:session name="48" param="5491:smileytongue:art-type:Walker"></convio:session></convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:smileysurprised:p>TRUE</convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:then>This is content that will be displayed if a person is a Walker.</convio:then>   </convio:when>

     

    <convio:when title="Volunteer" test="eq">     <convio:smileysurprised:p><convio:session name="48" param="5491:smileytongue:art-type:Volunteer"></convio:session></convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:smileysurprised:p>TRUE</convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:then>This is content that will be displayed if a person is a Volunteer.</convio:then>   </convio:when>

     

    <convio:when title="Runner" test="eq">     <convio:smileysurprised:p><convio:session name="48" param="5491:smileytongue:art-type:Runner"></convio:session></convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:smileysurprised:p>TRUE</convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:then>This is content that will be displayed if a person is a Adult Runner.</convio:then>   </convio:when>

     

    <convio:when title="Child Runner" test="eq">     <convio:smileysurprised:p><convio:session name="48" param="5491:smileytongue:art-type:Child Runner"></convio:session></convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:smileysurprised:p>TRUE</convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:then>This is content that will be displayed if a person is a Child Runner.</convio:then></convio:when> 

     

    <convio:when title="Child Walker" test="eq">     <convio:smileysurprised:p><convio:session name="48" param="5491:smileytongue:art-type:Child Walker"></convio:session></convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:smileysurprised:p>TRUE</convio:smileysurprised:p>     <convio:then>This is content that will be displayed if a person is a Child Walker.</convio:then></convio:when>

     

    <convio:smileysurprised:therwise title="Virtual">This is content that will be displayed if a person is a Virtual Participant.</convio:smileysurprised:therwise>

    </convio:choose> </p>

     

    The initial [[S48:5491:smileytongue:art-type]] correctly throws back the appropriate value, but the conditional is always returning the final virtual clause.

     

    Can you see any problems with the syntax of my conditional that would cause it to break in this way, or is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

     

    Thanks for any help that you can provide,

    Hi Misha, did you ever find a solution for your issue? We're also having some issues with conditional content set up in blue prints working correctly in the child events and am wondering if it is a similar sitution.

    Thanks for asking. No I haven't found a solution yet, but I'm still working on it.
