Tour emails and the review request

2 min read

Tours add five emails: four about departures, and a review request sent after the tour.

The departure emails #

Find them in WooCommerce › Settings › Emails. Each can be turned off and has its own subject, heading and additional content.

EmailSent toWhen
Departure cancelledThe guestsYou cancel a departure with The guests (email) ticked. It gives the reason and the refund, or the Choose a new departure link and the date by which they must choose.

Departure below its minimumThe shop24 hours before a departure’s deadline and at it, while it has fewer guests than its minimum. Its Recipient(s) are your new-order recipients unless you set your own.
Review requestThe guestsAfter the booking ends (set up below).

The guests’ order emails also carry their tickets (see Manifest, check-in and QR tickets).

The review request #

The review request asks guests how it was, with a link to leave a review. It is off until you add a timing.

  1. Open Rentals › Settings › Emails and find Review request.
  2. Add a row: for example Time after the booking ended 1, Unit Days, and optionally Send at (time of day) 10:00. The row turns it on.
  3. Optional: a Review address, such as your Google review link. {review_link} in the email sends guests there. Empty: the product’s own reviews.
  4. Below it, change the email’s Subject (“How was it?”), Email heading (“Thank you for coming”) and Email body if you like.
  5. Click Save.

Only guests who came are asked: a tour booking is asked once it was checked in, and a rental once it was handed over. No-shows never get it. It works for any rental, not just tours.
