REI Flip Sites - some issues
Question: Testing out my new sites. Two problems found. When a Buyer gives me his data, the date on the alert list indicating when Buyer joined my Alert group says 05/01/14. Today is 01/04/14. I tried to change date in the form. No can do. How do I change the date in the form to the correct date for when a new Buyer joins my list?
Answer: The way the date is positioned is day/month/yr.
Question: Second problem. When sending an Alert (I'm testing to my own email as if I'm on my own Buyers list) message, I, as a Buyer, get the message on my personal email as I should, but it comes through to my email in HTML format, not normal as here. How do I fix this? My buyers can't be receiving my alerts in HTML format.
Answer: All emails are sent in HTML format. This way you can use text format in addition to html.
Question: When sending an alert email to my list, is there any way to attach a file? I have a very professional report of a property I make with all details, pics, financials, descriptions, etc. … everything a Buyer needs/wants to know about a deal … in a 4 - 6 page report that is saved in a pdf format. I'd like to just attach that report to my Alert email and send that. It is a complete, beautiful report for presenting my properties to my buyers. But I can't find any way to attach a file when sending an alert email to my Buyer-list from my reiflipsites back office. I am using a Mac and a message does come up that I need to paste it in a special box … but it doesn't work. But if I can get it to work would be absolutely awesome for my purposes. Any suggestions?
Answer: This is a feature that we are working on for a future update. But for right now, you can add the property to your database, approve the property, and then send the buyers the link to your properties from the property sites provided to you.
Please note: As of right now, you will have to sign up as a buyer in order to view the property sites.
