Custom Expiry Times & Notifications
Expiry reminders just got a glow-up. ✨
You can now choose when expiry reminders go out and customize the message parkers receive.
What’s new?
Previously, expiry reminders used a fixed timing of 15 minutes before permit expiry. Now, teams can set reminder timing that better matches the permit type, whether it is a quick short-term permit or a longer-term pass.
Set Expiry Reminder Times
You can set expiry reminder timing in two places:
Company default
Go to Offstreet > Company > Support and update the Default Expiry Reminder Time.
This becomes the default reminder timing for new permit types.
Permit type override
Go to Permits > Permit Types > Settings and update the Expiry Reminder Time for that permit type.
This lets you use a different reminder time for specific permit types.
Events override
Go to Events > Open Event > Settings and update the Expiry Reminder Time for that permit type.
This lets you use a different reminder time for specific permit types.
How reminder times work
- All existing Permit Types and Events are set to the current default of 15 minutes and can be adjust manually
- If a new permit type or Event is created, the expiry reminder time will default to the company setting but can be adjusted during the setup wizard:
- Reminder times can be set in minutes, hours, days, or weeks
- SMS reminders can be enabled or disabled at a Location, Tenant, Permit Type, and Event level
For example, a reminder set for 2 hours before expiry will not send for a permit that only lasts 1 hour.
Custom reminder messaging
Expiry reminder messaging can also be customized so parkers receive clearer, more helpful instructions.
SMS Reminder
Email Reminder
You can customize Expiring Soon Email/SMS Instructions at the following levels:
Permit Type
- Details > Settings > Instructions
Tenant
- Details > Portal > Instructions
Location/Event
- Details > Instructions
ie. Permit Type wins over Tenant, Tenant wins over Location
