Configure New Location Welcome Email

How to configure the "welcome" email that you can send to new locations. This email is often sent when a Bullseye client has uploaded locations into Bullseye, and has provided an email address in the UsernameEmail field. Once email addresses have been included in that field, you can use this email to send login info to those contacts.

This email can be sent manually via the  Manage Locations menu.

1. Set Lead Manager Test Mode (Optional)*

Before configuring and testing emails, place Lead Manager in test mode. This will automatically redirect outbound emails to the addresses you specify and prevent test messages from being sent to actual dealers and others. For instructions, see Set Lead Manager Test Mode.

*Use this option only if you have a Lead Manager subscription.  If you only have a regular locator subscription, please disregard.

2. Modify Default Theme

If you haven't already done so, modify the default them to give your email the look and feel you want, and to apply your branding. For instructions, see Customize Email Themes.

3. Edit Template Settings

  • Click Settings > > Email Settings.
  • Click the Edit link next to the New Location Welcome template.

On the  Settings tab, configure the available fields.

To Address - One or more email addresses to which this email will always be sent, in addition to the location.
BCC Address - One or more email addresses to which this email will be blind copied, in addition to the location and addresses in the "To Address" field.
From Address - The address that the recipient will see as the "from" address; e.g., [email protected].  Note: If your from address includes your own email domain, you will need to create DNS records that allow Bullseye to send email on your behalf. Please contact Bullseye Locations for assistance.
From Name - The name that the recipient will see as the "from" name, associated with the From Address; e.g., "Yourcompany Customer Support."
Subject - The subject line of the email; e.g., "Welcome to Yourcompany!"
