Tips for the Week - MyEventRunner Edition!


Did you know you can create vouchers using the new templates found in MyEventRunner?

We've added a new template for name tags to the "Prepare Name Tags" section in MyEventRunnner! This new template allows event chairs to create vouchers for meals, tickets, etc. for registered attendees. Vouchers can be created  and color coded based on payment status, packages and add-ons created under the same event and then can be exported into Word to print and distribute.

Did you know that you can issue online refunds for events created within MyEventRunner?

As part of our recent software update, you now have the ability to issue an online refund for the original payment transaction that occurred for an event created with MyEventRunner. Depending on the payment processor, online refunds are applied right away. You will see a 'Refund' link appear next to the transaction on the Payment History screen. You simply follow the instructions as they appear on the screen, and you're done!


Did you know you can personalize your invitation emails using mail merge tags?

Similar to the mail merge fields found in the Email Message Center, event chairs emailing registrants through MyEventRunner can use mail merge tags to populate information in their emails such as name, recipient spouse name, club name, sender name, account name, etc.

These are just some of the enhancements we've made to the MyEventRunner module, but there are still lots more on the way. To learn more about his feature, visit www.MyEventRunner.com.

Email Communications 3.0!

A few months ago, we introduced our new and improved Email Message Center module on Version 3.0. At that time, we announced that we will be retiring the Email Message Center 2.0 on July 24, 2014. Post this date, when you navigate to the Email Message Center 2.0 and click on "Compose New Message" you will be taken to Version 3.0. You will still have access to your emails and drafts in Version 2.0 and can migrate them to the new platform.

Not only is the Email Message Center 3.0 faster but it also allows you to have more control over your emails. Upon logging in, you will notice a new link on the Admin Page titled "Email Message Center (New)" under the My ClubRunner section. You can transfer over your emails from the old Version 2.0 system to this by clicking on the "Migrate Emails" button. This will automatically transfer all the emails and drafts that were created in the past 3 months.

Create and send customized message templates easily, attach larger files (limit increased to 6MB), continue to manage your distribution lists, add images to your emails from directly from your desktop or image library and even style your text using the options available. With the new AutoSave feature, your emails will be saved every 90 seconds, so you'll never have to worry about losing your drafts.

For any questions on this new module, please do not hesitate to contact our support team.
