How can I use Auto Email Winners for just one Contest?

So let's say you have 100 of the same Prize that you want to give away in 2 different Contests with 50 prizes in each, and you only want one of those Contests to email the winners. How can you make that happen?

Because the Winner Emails are Prize-based, you would not want to check the "Use Email Template" box in this Prize, because everyone who wins that prize will receive the email.

Instead. add the number of Prizes that will be given away in the Contest for which you do want emails to be sent to a Prize Package and check Use Email Template in the Prize Package information. Then assign all of those packages to the Contests for which emails should be sent. 

Here is the example in three easy steps:

  1. Add 100 Prizes to the Prize Closet (either in Prizes on the Fly or in the Prize Closet) and do not check "Use Email Template" in the Prize information. (see below)



  2. Create 50 Prize Packages (on the fly or in the Prize Closet) and then make sure that the "Use Email Template" box is checked in this Prize Package information.



  3. After you have the Prize Package Email looking the way you want it, add the Prize Packages to the Plays in the Contest for which you want to send Winner Emails.

    You will have 50 Prizes with emails and 50 without, but all are the same Prize.
