Referral Links in Automated Messages & Campaigns

Modified on Fri, 1 Aug at 10:05 AM

You can promote your referral program by sending a marketing campaign or adding the referral link to automated messages. The referral link is unique for each client.

Things to know:

The referral link in the campaign template is generic and should not be manually copied or shared with clients.
When the campaign is sent, each client will automatically receive their unique referral link.
When someone clicks the referral link, they will be directed to the Book Now experience on the booking widget. Learn more here.
When sending an email campaign, the recipient list will, by default, automatically include clients who:
Are associated with a location
Have an email address on file
Have opted in to receive email marketing campaigns
When sending an SMS campaign, MyTime automatically includes clients who have a mobile phone number on file and have double opted in to receive SMS marketing campaigns. Clients who have not double opted in or do not have a mobile phone number on file will be excluded from the recipient list.
You can specify a preferred delivery method for sending campaigns or automated messages (Email or SMS):
Use if Available: The selected method will be the method used for delivery
Never Use: This method will not be used, even if the selected method is unavailable
