What are automated emails?

Discover what email automation is and what actions these automated emails trigger

These are emails that are sent automatically when:

  • Attendees perform actions in the App, Web or Registration Form.
    Examples: the attendee registers for the form and receives an email that they have registered successfully, receives a message from another attendee, receives a meeting request from another attendee, etc.
  • The organizer performs an action on the Dashboard.
    Examples: massively imports an Excel file of attendees into the Attendee List, manually enters an attendee into the Attendee List, accepts/rejects a request to register for the form, accepts/rejects an abstract, etc.

Email Actions

In Emails > Email Automation, automatic emails are divided into 4 sections:

  • Ticketing: linked to ticket sales through the ticketing platform (not the registration form).
  • Apps: linked to the App & Web Dashboard and activated modules/sections.
