Scheduled Reminder Emails allow you send an email to all your attendees leading up to the event. You can set the date and time you'd like for this email to be sent, even having it send just minutes or hours before someone's time slot (when. using time slots).
This feature allows tickets to be at the top of your attendees' inboxes for easy access to scan into your event. It also gives you the opportunity to get out any critical details or important announcements before attendees arrive.
When sending a Reminder Email you can include a custom message that will append above the attendee's tickets and order details.
NOTE: Reminder Emails are to be used pre-event. If you'd like to send an email out post-event, you'll want to use our Email Center.
