Hi Folks,

I want to utilize the canned reminder mail task for pledged registration fees, but it doesn't appear that event registration fields are available on the fields to include tab.  Should I even create a pledge record and link it to the registration in the participant record?  Should I simply record it in a participant record that has an unpaid registration?  In which case, is there a different mail task available to merge the registration fees and the benefits assocaited with the registration category?

Anyone come up with a work around? An export?

Thanks,

This all depends on your own internal policies for creating pledges.  Do you have something in writing that the constituent pledged to pay the $$.  If so, you probably can enter a pledge.  It is one way to do it and I can not think of another way off hand. 

Melissa,

Thanks for your reply.  We have a verbal committment between the event director and the sponsor/patron.  The event director complete a form, then I process it.  I think I'll stick with the pledge record so I can use the reminder mail task.  I'm currently linking the pledge record to the registration, and then I will link the pledge payment as well.  I don't know how this will play out in the end, ie how it will affect reporting etc.   Are you linking both pledge and payment to your registrations?  Thanks,

If there is a written pledge then, yes, I do link both the pledge and payments to the registration.
