You can now have your Salsa event launch an auto-response email trigger when someone gets upgraded from the waiting list.

This week, we wanted to turn the spotlight on a cool new feature we've recently added to Salsa Events.

"Invoice Me" Event Payment Option

You'll find this new option under an event's Event Fees tab: it's just a simple checkbox (unchecked by default) called Invoice Option available for any paid event.

It's the "Salsa Weekly Highlight," your quick hit on what's what in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

We recently highlighted Salsa's tools for personalizing thank-you pages with the name of your donor or supporter after s/he takes action.

Today, we're going to translate that same trick to the automated Email Triggers your action pages launch.

Personalized Email Triggers

I hope you're already using Email Triggers widely to thank your supporters when they join, give, register, or take action on your Salsa pages.

When someone likes you that much, why settle for "Dear Supporter"? Personalized greetings like "Dear Adam" show the recipient that you care.

We're often asked about how to make acknowledgment messages to supporters as personal as possible. So the focus of this week's highlight is personalized thank-you pages using Salsa's merge fields.

Personalized Thank-You Pages

Thank-You Pages are a special type of Salsa content intended for use as a custom redirect from your other action and donation pages.

You can have these pages deliver personalized messages like "Thanks, Leslie!" in two easy steps.

Greetings! (and Happy Halloween!)

We're often asked about options to keep old campaigns, donation pages, events, and other aging Salsa data out from underfoot.

After all, it's a pain to pick through long lists of historical actions just to get the few ongoing ones you need to see. And you don't want to delete them outright and lose their data.

Solution: just archive them.

This week, I just wanted to remind you to avoid copying and pasting from Microsoft Word into Salsa (and probably into most any other online design tool you might use).

I know, I know. It looks like it should work. Lay out page in familiar Word interface, copy, paste it into web page or email blast. Easy, right?

Unfortunately, appearances are deceiving in this case.

This week's feature is one that I hope you've been making use of already: Salsa's expanded menus of built-in reports. My favorite thing about these system reports is that you can grab copies for your own headquarters, and customize them to your needs!
