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.

The image can also easily be toggled on and off. When off, a transparent 1x1 pixel is served.

Banner code snippet

The basic structure of the linked image to be added is:

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

LinkURL

Points guests to their story submission page: https://flip.to/property/poststay/email/link

ImageURL

Loads the image asset that invites guests to submit their story: https://flip.to/property/poststay/email/image

ImageDescription

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.

We suggest the following alt text for the post-stay email image:

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!”
