Default Email Notifications for Flexible Payments

Nimble AMS includes default email templates that are deployed on request by Nimble AMS Support that provide information to constituents about their scheduled, installment, or recurring orders with a saved payment. Nimble AMS also provides default (Process Builder) processes that are available that automatically send these emails once activated.

Learn more about Process Builder (external) and Email Templates (external).


Want to give more than a few days notice, send less emails, or change the content of an email?

  • If these processes don't quite fit your business needs, you can modify these processes directly, though you may want to save it as a new process in case you need a backup.
  • If you want to change the email templates, you can directly modify the HTML and/or text. Alternatively, you can also use Nimble Create to have even more control over the template's style.

Email Templates

Nimble AMS includes the following Classic Email Templates. Contact Nimble AMS Support to deploy these templates to your org. Different email templates are used for recurring orders with a saved payment since they use the Schedule object's fields a bit differently.

Processes

Nimble AMS includes the following Process Builder processes to automatically send the aforementioned email templates. All flexible payment types (one-time, installment, and recurring) are handled by two processes, one for schedules and one for schedule lines.

Each criteria in the process also checks to ensure the constituent has an email address (via NU__Schedule__r.NU__Account__r.PersonContact.Email). Otherwise, Process Builder would throw an error. Keep this in mind if you decide to modify these processes.

ProcessDescription

Schedule Line - Send Constituent Emails

When a schedule line fails, processes, is updated, or is processing soon, send the constituent an email.

This only affects one-time and installment payments because recurring orders with a saved payment don't use schedule lines.

Specifically, this sends the following email templates when the following criteria are met (and the evaluation happens in this order):

  1. If the schedule line's Date or Amount is changed...
    1. ...then email Nimble AMS Scheduled Payments - Schedule Line Edited immediately
    2. Whether true or false, continue to evaluate the next criteria.
  2. If the schedule line's Status is changed to Pending and the Date (it's scheduled to process) is more than 3 days from now...
    1. ...then email Nimble AMS Scheduled Payments - Schedule Line Processing Soon 3 days before the start date.

      The Date filter ensures a constituent is only reminded about a scheduled payment when it hasn't been created/modified in the last few days. Otherwise, they would receive two emails simultaneously, one for the schedule creation/edit and also one about it processing soon.


    2. If true, end the process.
  3. If the schedule line's Status is changed to Failed...
    1. ...then email Nimble AMS Scheduled Payments - Schedule Line Failed immediately
    2. if true, end the process.
  4. If the schedule line's Status is changed to Processed...
    1. then email Nimble AMS Scheduled Payments - Schedule Line Processed immediately
  5. The process ends.

Schedule - Send Constituent Email

When a payment schedule is created, send the constituent a summary email. When a recurring schedule is created, fails, or processes, send the constituent an email.

Specifically, this sends the following email templates when the following criteria are met (and the evaluation happens in this order):

  1. If a schedule's Record Type is Payment (i.e., a one-time or installment payment) and is a new record (i.e., not an update)...
    1. ...then email Nimble AMS Scheduled Payments - Schedule Created immediately
    2. if true, end the process.
  2. If the schedule's Record Type is Recurring (i.e., not a one-time or installment payment) and is a new record (i.e., not an update)...
    1. ...then email Nimble AMS recurring orders with a saved payment - Schedule Created immediately
    2. if true, continue the process.
  3. If the Recurring schedule is changed in such that its Start Date (the date it will process) is more than 3 days from now and its Stage is Ongoing...
    1. ...then email Nimble AMS recurring orders with a saved payment - Schedule Processing Soon 3 days before the start date.

      The Start Date filter ensures a constituent is only reminded about a scheduled payment when it hasn't been created/modified in the last few days. Otherwise, they would receive two emails simultaneously, one for the schedule creation/edit and also one about it processing soon.

    2. If true, end the process.
  4. If the Recurring schedule is changed to a Stage of Failed...
    1. ...then email Nimble AMS recurring orders with a saved payment - Schedule Failed immediately.
  5. The process ends.
