OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION

These are additional, optional configurations which you may like to consider for your myLoyalty account, in particular to improve customer communication.

INTEGRATIONS

(Platform > Integrations)

Configure additional integrations offering multiple channels of communication with your customers such as:

  • SMTP - For email communications with your customer. You will need to register with an email service provider if you haven’t already done so.

  • SMPP - To send text messages to your customers. Again, you will need to register with a service provider and complete the configuration details required.

  • Google Places - Google maps is used by the consumer app to identify and pinpoint outlet locations on the map including directions to get to a location (e.g. a venue). If you setup Google Places integration you will be able to locate and select your outlet (venue) addresses using Google Places, thereby making them visible to the user on the map.

USERS

(click on logged-in user name at the top-right-hand-corner of the screen > Settings > Security > Users > Invite User)

You can invite users to your myLoyalty account by simply using their email address. They will have to accept the invitation and then log in to the system using their credentials.
