Automated emails and tasks are visible in the Tour Details layout under Tasks/Docs/ATEM and then under the Email & Task Automation tab.
There you will see a list of Tour Automations. If you click on the title of an Automation, you will see a preview of the Automation and can enter Automation Notes. You can also:
- Block an Automation at the Tour level
- Manually Send an email to all tour participants meeting the criteria of the Automation Template or immediately create the task.
- Reset an automation that was previously run manually or before a date-change, so that if the timeframe and filter criteria match again, the Automation will run again.
Note: Automation Templates based on Tours can be created without setting the timeframe which creates either:
- an email template that can be sent out to all tour PAX manually whenever required or
- a task that can be deployed to specified staff manually as required
These emails and tasks are deployed by clicking the Create/Send Now button
Under the Tab Tasks/Docs/ATEM then Email & Tasks Automation, there will be a list of the Automations for the specified tour.

Create / Send Now
When clicked will send email manually immediately, bypassing the days before/after Tour criteria. Tasks will be created immediately, bypassing the Fudge Factor.
Note: Emails will only be sent when the Days Before/After criteria are Tour based, not PAX based. (eg: ‘Before tour depart date’ will send, but ‘After last payment due date’ will not)
Gear Icon (settings)
If the user has sufficient access privileges, this button will open a new window showing Business settings / Email & Task Automation Tab for quick access to Automations.
