Email as Communication Tool
Email continues to be a vital and preferred method of interaction with your attendees and partners. The run.events platform streamlines the process of sending branded emails to attendees, speakers, sponsors before, during, and after events.
All messages are sent from your own email address and reflect your event’s unique branding. Targeting is flexible: you can reach all attendees, or focus on specific groups based on criteria filtered out on the tickets, speakers, or sponsors screens through a variety of search options. Selecting recipients and sending emails is simple and efficient, requiring only a few steps.
How to get started:
Before you can send emails, you need to configure a few settings in your organizer dashboard: Integrating Email Providers with run.events | Event Organizer Settings | run.events
