How to Create and Use the Mini Session Automation.

The Mini Session Automation helps you promote limited-time mini sessions directly from your gallery using built-in emails and banners. This allows you to reach a wide audience and drive bookings efficiently.

You can choose how clients purchase their sessions:

Through the gallery store using a custom product
Through an external landing page using a redirect link

When Should You Use This Automation?

Use the Mini Session Automation when you want to:

Promote seasonal or limited-time mini sessions
Reach gallery visitors with announcements and reminders
Offer a simple booking experience directly from your gallery
Drive traffic to an external booking page

📌Important: This item is considered "digital delivery" for tax purposes. This may have implications if you are selling to or in a region where tax is not collected on digitally delivered items. If you require tax to be collected on this item you will need to create a "Custom Tax" template. Always consult your tax consultant for tax inquiries.

2. Purchase Confirmation Email

Customize the email sent after a client purchases the session.

Adjust the trigger timing if needed:
- Earliest Possible → Announcement email is sent immediately
- Optimized Send Schedule → Sent at recommended times (typically 8 AM, 2 PM, or 8 PM) based on your timezone
Include a booking or scheduling link if required

3. Discount

Offer a discount for your Mini Session product.

Choose the discount type (percentage or fixed amount)
Set the description displayed when the customer adds it to their cart
Define a minimum order requirement
Set the coupon code and usage limits

4. Campaign Duration

Next, specify the duration of the campaign. During this time, the custom product for Mini Sessions, along with its associated emails and banners, will be visible. Upon expiration, the custom product will be automatically removed from the gallery.

5. Redirect to a Landing Page

If you do not want your clients to purchase the Mini Session through the gallery, and instead redirect them to a landing page to purchase and book their session, you can turn off the Custom product.

Then add an external link to redirect your client to a different landing page. This landing page will be linked from the Email & Banners button.

6. Emails

You can now modify the email portion of your campaign. Adjust the email send time if you would like to delay the announcement email and/or reminder emails. This will not delay the start of your campaign, only delay the email send time.

Earliest Possible → Announcement email is sent immediately
Optimized Send Schedule → Sent at recommended times (typically 8 AM, 2 PM, or 8 PM) based on your timezone
