On your website dashboard, navigate to:

Reverse Publishing -> Settings:

If you do not have reverse publishing / digital prepress and are interested in testing it out or adding it to your paper, please email mcl@our-hometown.com 

First, select when you want to be notified of updates:

“Notify me of updates:” has 3 checkboxes:

• On the export screen
• When Articles are saved
• Every [#] Minutes

Then enter who to “Send notification e-mails to:”

Do not change anything else on this screen.  Click “Save Changes”.

Status Change Notifications

To receive notifications when any Article gets changed to a certain status:

• Navigate to your user profile
• Scroll down near the bottom to the “Article Notifications” section.
• Check the boxes next to whichever statuses you want to be notified for, then scroll to the bottom and click “Update Profile”

You will now receive email notifications when articles change to the selected status types.

Reminders are easy to set up and can be used individually or in concert with one another. For example, you can set a single reminder to go out a week before a customer’s membership expires, or you can create multiple reminders to go out a month, a week, and finally a day before the membership expires.

Although the most common use for Reminders is to alert customers that their membership is going to expire, they can also be used to reach users whose memberships have already expired to entice them to re-subscribe, or can be set up to reach users who abandoned the registration process after creating an account but before subscribing.

Let’s create a new Reminder for one of our memberships.

1. From your WordPress Dashboard, find the tab titled MemberPress and select the sub-menu item titled Reminders.
2. Click “Add New” at the top of the page to create your first Reminder.
3. You’ll be presented with options to configure the Trigger, with some additional options related to the e-mail itself underneath.
   1. Set the Trigger to the number of hours/days/weeks/months/years that you wish to send the reminder ahead of the subscription expiring.
   2. Set the Trigger action to “before Subscription expires”, or choose one of the other options below if you are setting up a different kind of reminder.
4. Once you’ve configured your Trigger options, we can look at the options in the Emails box. Here, you can edit the actual e-mail reminder that is delivered to customers (as well as the admin copy) by clicking the Edit button next to that e-mail. You can add graphics and text to customize the e-mail with your branding, and can use variables to personalize your message to the customer.
5. Finally, you’ll see an option for Send only for Specific Memberships. In our example, we have a few different membership options, including an Auto-Renewing Membership and a Print Upgrade Membership. These two special memberships do not “expire” the way a traditional one-time payment membership would, so we don’t want these reminder e-mails to be sent to subscribers of those memberships.
   1. Check the Send only for Specific Memberships box
   2. On the list of memberships, hold your control key and click each Membership that you want the Reminder to apply to.
   3. Click Publish when you are done.

You can repeat this process to create as many Reminders as needed for as many different scenarios as needed. MemberPress has outlined several Case Examples of when and how to use Reminders in their own documentation.

Emails

Send Subscription Renews Reminder Email to User – check this option to send this reminder email to the user. You are also given the following options:

Edit – click this to reveal a visual editor for this email where you can customize the email to look however you need. Be sure to click the ‘Update’ button for this reminder before sending any tests to see those edits.

Send Test – click this to send a test email to the email entered in your WordPress > Settings > General > Email Address field. Note: when sending a test, our email parameters will be auto-filled with fake info.

Reset to Default – clicking this will reset any custom edits you have made to the email. If clicked on accident, simply exit the reminder edit page without saving.

Send Subscription Renews Reminder Email to Admin – check this option to send this reminder email to the admin (meaning the email entered in your WordPress > Settings > General > Email Address field). The admin email has the same edit options as the user email above.

Send only for specific Memberships – checking this will reveal a menu of all published memberships you have created through MemberPress. Hold the Control Key (Command Key on the Mac) in order to select or deselect multiple memberships. Any membership(s) selected will be the only membership(s) to receive your reminder. This setting is especially helpful if you need to customize the content of each email per-membership.

Send Mail From

MemberPress will send out emails on your behalf using the information found in the “From Name:” and “From Email:” fields as seen below.   As a default, MemberPress will populate these fields with the Site Title and Email address located in your WordPress Settings > General page.

Member Notices

These emails are triggered and sent to a user when a certain event occurs.

Send Welcome Email – This email is sent to Welcome new users when they sign up for your membership site after a completed purchase. NOTE: this email will NOT be sent if you have a membership specific welcome email set in your Account tab of the membership options AND if the user corresponds to that membership. By default, this email will be sent to any other users that don’t correspond to a membership specific welcome email. Also, the global (default) welcome email is ONLY sent to members once – so if an existing member purchases another membership later, they will not get it. So in that case, the membership specific emails would be better.

Send Payment Receipt Notice – This email is sent to a user when a payment has been completed.

Send Cancelled Subscription Notice – This email is sent to a user when a subscription has been cancelled.

Send Upgraded Subscription Notice – This email is sent to a user when they upgrade their  subscription.

Send Downgraded Subscription Notice – This email is sent to a user when they downgrade their  subscription.

Send Paused Subscription Notice – This email is sent to the user when  one of their subscriptions is paused.

Send Resumed Subscription Notice – This email is sent to the user when they resume a subscription.

Send Refunded Transaction Notice – This email is sent to the user when a transaction has been refunded.

Send Failed Transaction Notice – This email is sent to the user when a transaction of theirs has failed.

Send Credit Card Expiring Notice – This email is sent to the user when their credit card is expiring.

Admin Notices & Emails

These emails are received by the admin when an event occurs for a user. As a default, the “Admin Email Addresses” field will be populated with the Email address located in your WordPress Settings > General page. However, You can put as many emails in the field as you want, separated by commas. This will email the list of Admin emails whenever a user does any of the selected options below.

Send New Signup Notice – This email is sent to you when a user registers for your membership site and their first transaction completes.

Send New One-Time Subscription Notice – This email is sent to you when a non-recurring subscription is created.

Send New Recurring Subscription Notice – This email is sent to you when a subscription is created.

Send Payment Receipt Notice – This email is sent to you when a payment comes through your membership site.

Send Cancelled Subscription Notice – This email is sent to you when a subscription is cancelled.

Send Upgraded Subscription Notice – This email is sent to you when a subscription is upgraded.

Send Downgraded Subscription Notice – This email is sent to you when a subscription has been downgraded.

Send Paused Subscription Notice – This email is sent to you when a subscription is paused.

Send Resumed Subscription Notice – This email is sent to you when a subscription is resumed.

Send Refunded Transaction Notice – This email is sent to you when a transaction is refunded.

Send Failed Transaction Notice – This email is sent to you when a transaction fails.

Send Credit Card Expiring Notice – This email is sent to you when a member’s credit card is expiring.

How to edit the emails – You can edit the format of the emails by clicking on the “Edit” button next to them. This will drop-down a section where you can modify the Subject and Body of the emails. In the Body of the email you will see codes like this {$user_login}. When the email is sent, these values will be replaced with their actual values for that user. Each email template has a list of available codes for that particular email. You can use any of those codes in the Body of the email. See the full list of supported email codes here.

Adding Custom Fields in Emails

You can add any custom fields entered into your Options > Fields of MemberPress to emails sent to Members or to Admins. To do this you can use {$usermeta:slug} where “slug” gets replaced with the slug of your custom field. Ie; {$usermeta:mepr_office_phone} could be an example. The slugs of your custom fields can be found here:

NOTES:

• Custom fields are not utilized in test emails currently. To test the functionality of your custom fields in emails, do so with a real test signup.
• If you’re finding that your slugs are really long, try creating a new field first with an abbreviation of what you want the slug to be, click update at the bottom of the page, then edit the name to be how you want it to appear on your registration page. This will give you the slug you want with the name of the custom field you want as well. Be careful with this because if you delete and re-create a field to do this, all information entered into that field by existing members will be lost.
