One of the biggest benefits of using Advanced Events is the ability to view exactly many people have accepted, declined or not yet responded. This allows you to send follow-up communications to invitees based on their response.
For example, you can:
-
Resend an Event Invite to all invitees who have not yet responded (ensuring that you don't clutter the inbox of those that have already responded).
-
Send follow-ups or important updates on the event to all those who have accepted.
-
Send recordings or pictures from the event to those who declined and were not able to attend in person using a follow-up email.
An event follow up email is a reminder email or update that you can use to target a specific group i.e. to All Invitees, or those that Did not reply, Accepted, are Awaiting registration or Declined your original invitation. Use the instructions below to send an Event Follow-up. You can create more than one Follow-up email.
