Including a Zoom Link

Due to recent world events we have had several app users interested in providing their customers with a Zoom link in order to facilitate their virtual sessions. This article will walk you through the process using the example of a store that has instructors who will host online classes. 

Retrieve Your Zoom Link

The first step is to provide a Zoom link for each instructor. This link will be used for each of the classes that the particular instructor hosts. The following link is provided by Zoom and contains the steps to retrieve your Zoom links.

Setup Your Locations

Now you will access the app admin and navigate to Locations within the Configuration category. Once at Locations you will create individual locations that apply to each of the instructors. If you want to include the instructor in any of the emails that are generated from the app you will include their email address in the appropriate field.

 

Associate the Location with a Product

Next you will associate your location with a product. In this example, the product either represents the instructor or the class they conduct. On the product configuration page in the app you will find the Location field. 

 

Including the Zoom Link in Your Templates

There are a couple ways you can include your Zoom link. 

Booking Reminder Email Template

1. Go to the Templates page in the BTA admin. This is found in the Configuration section.

2. Open the template you want to edit.

3. Go to https://gist.githubusercontent.com/gterrill/a442b7431a62e590c03d/raw/9a9ab11c1c375b92e9680bb9c162c87abd39ddc1/reminder.html.liquid 

4. Copy the page of code and then go back to your Booking Reminder Template and paste the code.

 

Ticket Template

1. Go to the Templates page in the BTA admin. This is found in the Configuration section.

2. Open the template named Ticket.

3. Go to https://gist.githubusercontent.com/gterrill/fda25beebb0bf063bbc6/raw/d5311765b2ea15aa2067a1812f4d364bdcd2c018/ticket.html.liquid 

4. Copy the page of code and then go back to the BTA Template page and paste in the Ticket template.

Please note: the location information is only available in the BookThatApp email templates. It is not available in the Shopify Order Notification email template.

Include Instructor as a Recipient 

If you need to notify an instructor about a booking you can add the Location as a CC or BCC on any of the booking email templates, and it will use the email address you specified when you created the location.
