Send Joy thank-you notes for registry gifts

1. Click the Manage icon on the Joy admin dashboard and open the Tracking tab to reach the Gift Tracker.
2. Click Write Thank You next to a gift. Joy writes a first draft from the gift tracker data.
3. Click Edit Email to change the text, subject line, reply-to address or photo, then Save and Next.
4. On Confirm & Send, send a test email to yourself, click Send Now, then Thank Another Guest to go back for the next gift.
5. Every Joy thank-you is a separate trip through the same screens, and a gift bought on an outside store appears only if the guest came back to Joy and confirmed the purchase.

Go through every gift in our Joy registry tracker since the wedding, draft a thank-you for each giver that names what they gave, and send them in batches of ten after I read them.

1. 01

   Start from what is still open

   list_received_gifts, from the wedding date or the date of your last batch, gives each gift with its giver. Gifts already thanked are skipped, so a run picked up a week later continues where the last one stopped.

2. 02

   One note per person

   A guest who bought the mixer and also gave to the honeymoon fund gets one note that mentions both. The agent sends it on the first gift and lists the second as covered, so nobody is thanked twice.

3. 03

   Write it in your voice

   Each draft names the item or fund and follows a sample note you give once. Cash fund notes name the fund, such as the honeymoon, and leave the amount out unless you ask for it.

4. 04

   Skip what cannot be matched

   A gift with no giver name is left out of the batch and reported, since a guessed recipient is worse than a late note. Those usually need a quick message to the couple's family or a look at the store order.

5. 05

   Batches you can read

   Drafts come in groups of about ten. send_thank_you_note goes out for each one you approve, and edits you make to a draft are applied before it is sent.

Gift tracker since June 12: 64 gifts from 51 givers, 9 already thanked.

Sent after your OK: Ana Lopez (stand mixer and honeymoon fund), the Harts (dinnerware, 8 place settings).

No giver name, skipped: "Linen napkins" bought June 20.

• The Joy Gift Tracker shows the giver automatically only for gifts bought through Joy; a purchase made directly on a public Amazon or Crate & Barrel registry does not track on Joy.
• For gifts bought on an outside store, Joy does not update the tracker on its own: the guest has to return to Joy and confirm the purchase.
• The Joy Gift Tracker lists how much each guest put into a cash fund, and clicking a guest's name shows every gift that guest chose.
• A new photo for a Joy thank-you note has to be uploaded to the Photos section of the Admin Dashboard first; only then does it appear in the Photo dropdown.

send_thank_you_note asks for your OK by default. To run it on a schedule without you, switch confirmation off for that tool in your dashboard.
