Automated Emails
Automated emails are a fundamental component of event management, serving as pre-set communications that are automatically generated and dispatched to attendees before and after an event. These emails are designed to streamline communication processes, providing essential information such as event details, reminders, and post-event follow-ups. By leveraging automated emails, organizers can ensure timely and consistent communication with attendees, enhancing their overall event experience and engagement.
Among these automated emails, several serve specific purposes in enhancing event management and community engagement:
- Reminders of the Event: These emails are crucial for keeping attendees informed and engaged leading up to the event. Sent at 2 weeks, 72 hours, and 48 hours before the event, they serve as gentle nudges to ensure attendees are prepared and excited for the upcoming event.
- Event Update Notifications: Keeping attendees informed about any changes to the event is essential for maintaining transparency and managing expectations. These emails are triggered when an event is created, updated, or canceled, ensuring attendees are promptly informed of any alterations to the event details.
- Welcome Emails: Upon joining the community, new members receive a warm welcome via email. These welcome emails serve as an introduction to the community, providing essential information, resources, and a friendly invitation to explore and engage with the community further.
Once an Automated email is scheduled to be sent, you'll see it on the Email List
System Emails
System emails play a pivotal role in facilitating clear and timely communication with users by automatically triggering transactional emails following specific events. These emails serve as essential notifications to users, providing concise and pertinent information related to their interactions within the platform.
Among the range of system emails, users can expect to receive:
- RSVP confirmations for events: ensuring clarity for both attendees and group owners alike.
- Group owners notification of significant events such as the creation of a new event or the need for a wrap-up following an event.
These emails are not displayed within the standard email list, streamlining user communication channels.
