How do I send reminder emails?

Reminder emails are a great way to promote your event with your contacts and encourage them to spread the word. Another great thing about reminders is that you can create them all at once in advance, schedule when you want them to send, and then forget about them and get ready for your event.  With reminders, use a subject line that creates some urgency, like 'There is still time to get tickets for your {event name},' 'We are looking forward to seeing you at {event_name}, or 'Just three days until {event_name}.'

To create/edit reminders:

1. From you Event dashboard, select 'Reminders.'
2. Select 'Create New Reminder.'
3. Insert a short but compelling subject line that includes your event name.
4. You can save the reminder as is - based on your published event page, or you can add a message to the email invitation by selecting 'Edit this Invitation.'
5. Select 'Save as Draft.'

 

To send reminders:

1. From you Event dashboard, select 'Reminders.'
2. Select the @ icon by the invitaion that you want to send.
3. Add recipients and send manually (right away) or send automatically (schedule a time).

Using Invitation and Reminder Smart Tags

Smart tags are available when you add recipients to an invitation or reminder. Tags like 'Attendees' and 'Non-Attendees' help you reach the right people.
