The Reminders tab allows event organizers to send scheduled messages to event participants before or after an event. Reminders can help keep attendees informed about upcoming events and provide follow-up communication after an event.
To access Reminders:
- Open the event.
- Select the Reminders tab.
Reminder Types
Reminders are organized into two categories:
- Pre-event - Send reminders before the event starts.
- Post-event - Send follow-up reminders after the event.
By default, two pre-event reminders are available:
- 1 day before the event - Sent one day before the event starts.
- 3 hours before the event - Sent three hours before the event starts.
You can also add additional reminders using Add reminder. The Reminders section includes separate tabs for Pre-event and Post-event reminders.
