How to schedule and automate emails to event attendees.


How to create a scheduled event email

Note: If you are using restricted access settings on your website for each membership level, anyone who also has event administration access will only be able to send scheduled emails to their restricted member levels. All other access remains the same. Please see more details here: Restricted Membership Access

To successfully send emails that are scheduled, events must be "active." Otherwise, you will see this message on your screen.

Also, if members and users have specifically opted out or Muted receiving marketing emails, see Mute all Marketing Emails they will also not be able to receive the event's scheduled email.


Under the Event Module,  create a scheduled event email by clicking the edit icon across the 'active' event. On your screen, you'll see the 'Emails' tab and then click 'Add Schedule Email'.


You must complete a number of fields in order to schedule emails.


  • Subject: This is a single line of text people see when they receive your email.
  • From: This is the sender email address.
  • Copy To: (otherwise known as CC) This address will also receive a copy of the email.
  • Reply To: Replies from the recipients will be sent to this address instead of the 'from' address.
  • Message: This is the email body or actual text of the email. You can type your email from scratch in the Message field, or you may wish to use the dynamic fields in the right column of the screen to have the system populate the information from the member database for you. To insert these fields, simply click on the field you wish to use to insert it into your email.



  • Include Header and Footer: You can either tick on/off to wraps/unwraps the email with standard header and footer

    Select the recipients from the list. The available options include members who belong to a different membership category or those who are not yet enrolled for the event.

  • Cancel: You can cancel the email you created by clicking the button 'cancel' on the lower right side of the pop-up screen
  • Preview Email: Click the 'Preview Email' to view the email template.
  • Preview Recipients: You can view the receiver of the email by clicking the 'Preview Recipients' button.
