Emaze Auction: Closing Options

Emaze Auction: Closing Options "> "> "> ">

Closing options updated.

Closing Options Below are the options for which emails are automatically sent upon closing a lot. Please note that the more emails you send automatically, the more system resources are required. Sending the email to notify the contact person that the lot has closed is not processor-intensive. However, all other types of emails require a query to the database and/or sending multiple emails.

Please note that the emails to the winning and losing bidders can be sent manually via the Emaze Auction Admin screens. (Not manually as in sending the email to each bidder manually, but manually choosing the option to send the emails which also enables you to customize the email for that lot.)
