Overview
Email Automation can be used with PhotoBiz Client Galleries to send automated messages to clients based on gallery activity and workflows. If you are reviewing activity in your Client Galleries Dashboard, you can quickly open a client’s contact record and check their email automation history.
This guide walks you through how to check Client Galleries email automation activity from the Client Galleries Dashboard. You can use this to confirm whether automated gallery emails were sent, review the email status, and troubleshoot why a client may not have received an automated message.
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click CLIENT GALLERIES in the left-side menu.
This opens your Client Galleries Dashboard, where you can view gallery performance, recent activity, orders, and event information.
Go to the Recent Activity section on the Client Galleries Dashboard.
This section shows recent activity from your Client Galleries, including client interactions with gallery events. Click the event name for the client activity you want to review.
Click the client’s email address in the upper-right corner of the activity details.
This opens the client’s contact information, where you can review details connected to that client.
Click Email Automations in the contact section.
This opens the email automation history for that contact. From here, you can review which automated emails were sent and how the client interacted with them.
The email automation history may include:
By default, the Email Automation area may show automations for the current year. You can use the available filters, such as Type and Year, then click Search to narrow down the results.
Checking Email Automation from Contacts
You can also check email automation history directly from the Contacts control panel. This is helpful when you want to search for a client first instead of starting from Client Galleries activity.
To do this, click Contacts in the left-side menu, open the contact you want to review, then click Email Automation under the contact.
Understanding Email Automation Status
The email automation status helps you see how the contact interacted with an automated message.
Common statuses include:
If a client says they did not receive an automated email, confirm that the email address saved on their contact record is correct. You can also ask the client to check their spam or junk folder.
Contacts Excluded from Email Automations
A contact may be excluded from future email automations if they previously unsubscribed from emails or if their email address rejected a previous email.
This helps prevent automated emails from being sent to contacts who opted out or to email addresses that cannot receive messages.
Viewing Overall Email Automation Reports
You can also view monthly tracking reports for your email automations. This is helpful when you want to review overall performance instead of checking one contact at a time.
To view your monthly email automation report, go to Marketing and click Tracking. Use the dropdown menu to select Email Automations.
After you select Email Automations, click any active email automation series to view its stats.
The Email Automations tracking report shows monthly stats for each automation email in the selected series, including:
You can use the month and year dropdown menus to review automation activity for a specific month.
Why do I not see email automation activity for a Client Galleries contact?
If no email automation activity appears, the contact may not have triggered an automation series yet. This can happen if the client has not completed an action tied to an active Client Galleries automation.
Can I check whether a specific Client Galleries email was sent?
Yes. Open the contact’s email automation history from the Client Galleries activity details or from the Contacts control panel. You can review the Source/Series, Email Type/Trigger, Sent Date, and Status to confirm what was sent.
Why was a contact excluded from a Client Galleries email automation?
A contact may be excluded if they previously unsubscribed from emails or if their email address rejected a previous message. When this happens, PhotoBiz prevents future automated emails from being sent to that contact.
What should I check if a client says they did not receive a gallery email?
Confirm that the client’s email address is correct in their contact record. Ask the client to check their spam or junk folder. You should also review their email automation history to see whether the message was sent, opened, clicked, or excluded.
Where can I see overall stats for Client Galleries email automations?
Go to Marketing, click Tracking, and select Email Automations from the dropdown menu. Then click an active email automation series to view monthly stats.
