Step 2: Enable Date Alert Phases
Let’s say you want to set up 2 alerts for Check-in Due date. Simply click on the + sign below the alert type.

In order to add phase 2, click ‘Add Phase’ and add the number of days you want to send the alert by. Once you have added the number of Phase Alerts you want to set, click create.
