Feature Overview: Event Invitations and Automatic Reminder Emails
Our event invitation feature allows you to seamlessly create a invite for your upcoming event directly from the Event Overview in Fundraising Pages - complete with your event's details, images, and branding.
Your Events pages will also automatically send automatic reminder emails to ticket purchasers one hour before your event's start time, as an added reminder to head on over to the event - as well as eliminates the need for participants to hunt through their inbox for their original purchase confirmation.
These two features combined make it much easier for your nonprofit organization to share the word about your upcoming event widely with your contacts in Donor Management, and to notify attendees when it's time to join a virtual event (or leave the house for an in-person meetup).
To create an event invitation, you'll click on the "Communications" tab within your Event Overview and click on the "Create Your Email Invites" button. Through this workflow, you'll have the ability to create personalized event invites that you can send to a specified group - or everyone - within your contacts in Donor Management. This easily helps you share news of your event within your community; it also can help you better understand how many people are purchasing tickets as a direct result from receiving those invitations.
Automatic reminder emails don't require any further action - they're already set-up and pre-loaded to be sent as soon as your first participants purchase tickets or register for your event.
We've shared some articles below that help you build an event invitation step-by-step, as well as understand the nuances of the automatic reminder emails that your guests receive.
