# Post-stay email

**Add a banner to your post-stay email to invite guests to share their stories about their stay.**

A dynamically generated, linked image can be added to your email template that is unique for each guest and can be easily tweaked from your Flip.to account, including size, messaging and styling.

{% hint style="info" %}
The banner can easily be toggled on or off from your account. If it is turned off, the image will not be displayed and a transparent 1x1 pixel will be served in its place.
{% endhint %}

## Banner code snippet

The basic structure of the snippet to be added is:

```html
<a href=”LinkURL”><img src=”ImageURL” alt=”ImageDescription”/></a>
```

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="196"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>LinkURL</td><td>Points guests to their story submission page: <code>https://flip.to/property/poststay/email/link</code></td></tr><tr><td>ImageURL</td><td>Loads the image asset that invites guests to submit their story: <code>https://flip.to/property/poststay/email/image</code></td></tr><tr><td>ImageDescription</td><td><p>Makes sure your image is screen-reader friendly and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Add in the alt attribute directly in the tag.</p><p>We suggest the following alt text for the post-stay email image:</p><p><code>alt=”We'd love to hear about a favorite moment from your stay. You can also join fellow guests and enter your story in our story contest!”</code></p></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% code title="Sample" overflow="wrap" %}
