Blissbook does the work so you don't have toooooo!

Head to the Invitations & Reminders tab on your Organization's Email Automation page to set up Automated Reminders: Click EMAIL AUTOMATION in the side nav, choose the Invitations & Reminders tab, and look for the Automated Signature Reminders section:

Click that Add a Reminder button to add your first reminder. There are 3 steps:

  1. Set your reminder timing

  2. Customize the email template

  3. Choose who to CC (if anyone)

General Notes:

  • You can create as many reminders as you'd like

  • Reminders can be based on (A) when you requested a signature from someone or (B) someone's signature due date... we suggest you do not mix these 2; use one or the other for all reminders

  • Reminders will play nicely if someone's signature due date is changed

Once you set some up, it'll look like this:

If you want to change the timing of a reminder, simply add a new one and then delete the old one. To delete a reminder, hover over the reminder, click Edit and then the red-lined Delete button at the bottom.

Note: The toggle next to a reminder needs to be turned on, otherwise a reminder will not be sent. This is so you can turn off reminders as you wish without deleting them.

Turn off automated reminders for one person

Once your reminders are going out, you may need to turn them off for a particular person. You can toggle whether or not a particular person gets reminders in someone's employee card, which is accessible on your People or Reporting page.

Click the employee to open their card, click the Actions dropdown, and choose the option to disable automated reminders:

Add a Link to the Footer of Your Reminder Emails

Looking to point your employees towards an essential resource right from your reminder or notification emails? Good news: adding a link to the email footer is now possible.

Here's the quick how-to:

  1. Jump into Email Automation on the side nav.

  2. Switch to the Branding tab.

  3. Click Customize on an email branding option.

  4. In the side panel that opens up, scroll to the page's end, and you'll spot "Add a Footer Link" beneath the Footer text area.

    1. This is where you can name your link and drop in the URL

This feature is perfect for boosting engagement or guiding your team to crucial resources with just a click.
