Online Entries - Email Notifications to Organisers
Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2017 4:02 pm
I am starting to add (a small number) organiser email notifications to the online process. This is partly because I've found that I've been known to repeat myself this year and partly because I think it could be useful for those who have not run a competition or used the system before.
Most of the emails will go to everyone who is registered as a competition administrator for the relevant competition but will only be sent once so shouldn't add too much to email traffic.

So far, I have:
- Email sent to organiser on initiation of competition explaining what to do next to complete the set up
- Notification when payments have failed and the paddler has not updated details after 2 days
- Notification when there are waiting list entries that could be given a place (in practice this is a reminder, with instructions, to organisers to offer paddleups the places still available at the end of the priority period)
- Reminder (and basic instructions) two weeks before the event to create a start list. (Possibly including instructions on transferring data to Simply Slalom)
- A warning when a day is marked as full? (Or should this be when it is approaching full?)
- A post-competition reminder to send results to appropriate people and to send off levies
- A reminder 3(?) weeks before hand that you need to order prizes if you haven't already done so and to check and revise your safety plan
- Warnings that competition has opened/closed for entries
